This patch breaks the behavior that "pg_ctl -w start" waits until the standby has been ready to accept read-only queries. IOW, pg_ctl without this patch continues to check the connection even if the connection is rejected because the database has not been consistent yet. But pg_ctl with this patch treats that rejection as success of the standby starting and prints the above messages. I agree to treat the receipt of password request from the server as success of the server starting. But I don't think that we should treat other rejection cases that way and change the existing behavior.
