Description:

Hello
We noticed that pg_rewind retrieves all files from pg_wal source database
directory.
This is usually not a problem, except if one has created a FILLER file in
order to take action in case the WAL file system becomes full.
pg_rewind should only retrieve WAL files from that directory.
