Right, I was going to do that and have done so now, thanks for the
reminder.

Also, attached is a slightly changed patch which expands on the reason
of the change in the comment.

Subject: [PATCH] Reorder tablespaces for streaming basebackups.

The replication protocol documentation appears to express that the main
tablespace is th first to be sent, however, it is actually that last one. This
makes the backup_label file (which gets prepended to the main tablespace)
inconveniently end up in the middle of the basebackup stream if other
tablespaces are present.

Change this so that the main tablespace is the first to be sent, ensuring that
backup_label is the first file in the stream.
