Re: pg_repack issues

Just happened to see this thread -- the github issues page is the
proper place to send bug reports about pg_repack, and OP has opened
https://github.com/reorg/pg_repack/issues/30 already.

Yeah, that would work. The reason we're using the two-argument form of
pg_try_advisory_lock() at all is an attempt to play nice with any
other applications which might also be using advisory locks; maybe
that's being excessively cautious. I don't have a strong preference,
but I believe this should also work:

SELECT pg_try_advisory_lock($1, -2147483648 + $2)

i.e. cram the unsigned 4-byte OID into a signed 4-byte integer.
