The patch looks good overall. It applies cleanly and passes all tests.
One question. Do we want to create this file all the time (as written),
or only when archive_mode = always?
It appears that CleanupBackupHistory() will immediately remove the
history file when archive_mode != always so it seems useless to write
it. On the other hand the code is a bit simpler this way. Thoughts?
