OK, I have been reviewing the patch and the logic is correct, still I
could not resist reducing the number of inner if's for readability.  I
also did not like the high-jacking of rlde->d_name so instead let's use
an intermediate variable to store the basename of a scanned entry.  The
format of the if/elif with comments in-between was not really consistent
with the common practice as well.  pg_indent has also been applied.

OK, so am I doing.

Attached is an updated patch.  Does that look fine to you?  The base
logic is unchanged, and after a promotion history files get archived
before the last partial segment.
