I did a refactoring of ATExecSetTableSpaceNoStorage() in the 0001. New 
function SetRelTablesapce() is placed into the tablecmds.c. Following 
0002 gets use of it. Is it close to what you and Michael suggested?

Yeah, this 'refactoring' was initially referring to refactoring of what 
Justin added to one of the previous 0001. And it was meant to be merged 
with 0001, once agreed, but we got distracted by other stuff.

I have not yet addressed Michael's concerns regarding reindex of 
partitions. I am going to look closer on it tomorrow.
