Really? logid/logseg is incremented just before the check as follows.
So, when they are the same, the WAL file which logid/logseg indicates
has not been sent yet. Am I missing something?

+            /* Advance to the next WAL file */
+            NextLogSeg(logid, logseg);
+
+            /* Have we reached our stop position yet? */
+            if (logid > endlogid ||
+                (logid == endlogid && logseg >= endlogseg))
+                break;
