Hi all,

I found strange behavior of PostgreSQL of HEAD while using pg_basebackup.
pg_basebackup skips pg_replslot directory since
858ec11858a914d4c380971985709b6d6b7dd6fc commit.

But pg_repslot direcotry is needed to start replication. So the
standby server which is created by
pg_baseback can not start.
I got following FATAL error when the standby server starts.

FATAL: could not open directory "pg_replslot": No such file or directory

Is this a bug?
Attached file solves it by including pg_replslot directory as empty directory.

Please give feedback.

Regards,
