- When executing <application>pg_rewind</application> using an online
- cluster as source which has been recently promoted, it is necessary
- to execute a <command>CHECKPOINT</command> after promotion such that its
- control file reflects up-to-date timeline information, which is used by
- <application>pg_rewind</application> to check if the target cluster
- can be rewound using the designated source cluster.
