This comes down to out-of-memory vs path length at the end. Changing only the paths of make_outputdirs() without touching all the paths in check.c and the one in function.c does not sound good to me, as this increases the risk of failing pg_upgrade in the middle, and that's what we should avoid, as said upthread. > I note also that the patch leaks quite a lot of memory (a kilobyte or > so per pathname, IIRC).
