Okay, so far I have pushed 0001 and 0002 squashed (commit 5bec1ad4648), 0003 (commit 7d9a4301c08), 0005 and 0006 squashed (commit 2c83f435a3de). In the last one I chose to rename your psql_check to safe_psql and tweaked a few other things, not worthy of individual mention. I think the result should still work on Perl 5.8 though I didn't actually verify that -- I don't think I made any changes that would affect portability. I will be downloading your Dockerized stuff shortly while I still have a convenient network connection, just in case.
Thanks very much. Your commit messages are much better too.
Patches 0004 and 0007 remain.
For readers who're not following closely that's the filtering support for RecursiveCopy and the support for taking filesystem-level backups in PostgresNode that uses it.
I think 0007 is uncontroversial; I reworked 0004 a bit and gave it to someone else to finish a couple of didn't I didn't quite like -- hopefully she'll be submitting a new version soonish. Once we have that I'm happy to push them too.
Great, thanks.
