Hi, here are my review comments for v19-0001.

======
doc/src/sgml/protocol.sgml

nitpick - Now there is >1 option. /The following option is supported:/The
following options are supported:/

======
src/backend/access/transam/twophase.c

TwoPhaseTransactionGid:
nitpick - renamed parameter /gid/gid_res/ to emphasize that this is
returned by reference

~~~

1.
IsTwoPhaseTransactionGidForSubid
+ /* Construct the format GID based on the got xid */
+ TwoPhaseTransactionGid(subid, xid, gid_generated, sizeof(gid));

I think the wrong size is being passed here. It should be the buffer size
-- e.g. sizeof(gid_generated).

~

nitpick - renamed a couple of vars for readability
nitpick - expanded some comments.

======
src/backend/commands/subscriptioncmds.c

2. AlterSubscription
+ /*
+ * slot_name and two_phase cannot be altered
+ * simultaneously. The latter part refers to the pre-set
+ * slot name and tries to modify the slot option, so
+ * changing both does not make sense.
+ */

I had given a v18-0002 nitpick suggestion to re-word all of this comment.
But, as I wrote before [1], that fix belongs here in patch 0001 where the
comment was first added.
