- * Because a check for predicate locks on a tuple target should also find
- * locks on previous versions of the same row, if there are any created by
- * overlapping transactions, we keep a pointer to the target for the prior
- * version of the row.	We also keep a pointer to the next version of the
- * row, so that when we no longer have any predicate locks and the back
- * pointer is clear, we can clean up the prior pointer for the next version.
+ * Because a particular target might become obsolete, due to update to a new
+ * version, before the reading transaction is obsolete, we need some way to
+ * prevent errors from reuse of a tuple ID.  Rather than attempting to clean
+ * up the targets as the related tuples are pruned or vacuumed, we check the
+ * xmin on access.  This should be far less costly.
