The current help text for pg_basebackup -R is "write recovery.conf after
backup".
This says nothing about what it actually does. I've had a number of people
ask me now why that's not default "because you need a recovery.conf to
restore from backup". The point being that it doesn't say anything about
the fact that it writes the file *for replication*. The help page does, but
not the message.
I propose a new message per the attached patch.
Comments?
