Some comments for v55.

repack.c:2725

    if (!VARATT_IS_EXTERNAL(varlen))
          continue;

I think it should be VARATT_IS_EXTERNAL_INDIRECT - the same as in pgrepack:244.

Also,  after

natt_ext--;

I think it worth to add

Assert(natt_ext >= 0);

or Assert(natt_ext == 0); but in another place.

Or exit early with
     for (int i = 0; i < desc->natts && natt_ext > 0; i++)

----------------------------
repack.c:2587

    table_tuple_insert(rel, slot, GetCurrentCommandId(true),
       HEAP_INSERT_NO_LOGICAL, NULL);

More idiomatic to use TABLE_INSERT_NO_LOGICAL instead.

----------------------------
repack.c:2696

     ExecForceStoreHeapTuple(tup, slot, false);

AFAIU there is a memory leak here. Memory allocated above (for tuple)
is not freed in any way, because shouldFree == false.
Also, ExecClearTuple (tts_virtual_clear for virtual tuples) requires
TTS_SHOULDFREE to be set to free anything.

-------------------------
grab ShareUpdateExclusiveLock (jsut like VACUUM

typo in "just"

--------------------------

"If the identity index is not set due to replica identity being, PK"

Missing "FULL" after "being"?

-------------------------

Commit message:

"intial copy" -> "initial copy"
"backed performing REPACK" -> "backend performing REPACK"


Best regards,
Mikhail.
