Hi everybody,

Thanks for pointing that out.

Yes, this is an updated version of the patch. I've addressed the missing
regression test changes by updating 'expected/cluster.out' as well.

The patch now includes:

- the 'PreventInTransactionBlock()' check for 'REPACK (ANALYZE)';
- the regression test in 'cluster.sql'; and
- the corresponding expected output in 'expected/cluster.out'

I also verified that the regression tests 'test_setup' and cluster pass,
and that the patch applies cleanly to a clean worktree.

The updated patch is attached.

With Regards,
Osama Abdul Qader
