Thanks for rebasing the patch!

     This parameter is required for archive recovery,

I found the above description in config.sgml. I was just wondering
if it should be updated so that the actual specification is described or not.
The actual spec is that restore_command is required to start archive
recovery, but optional (i.e., the parameter can be reset to an empty)
after archive recovery has started. But this updated version of
description would be rather confusing to users. So I'm now thinking
not to update that.

Does anyone object to the patch? If no, I'm thinking to commit the patch.
