Thanks for the helpful answers.

Two follow up questions which, if they can be answered, will save some time
before I go testing random theories.

Is there a way to bump a database up a timeline version without specifying
the exact timeline version of interest? Apparently doing a rebase from a
database which has incremented its own timeline from doing a recovery does
at least this.

Is it possible to interpret the requested file and ignore the timeline
digits and provide a file from some other timeline? Or is the timeline mean
more than just the file name?
