Sounds good to me!

I just tried REPACK command and observed a few things:

When I repeatedly ran REPACK on the regression database
while make installcheck was running, I got the following error:

        ERROR:  StartTransactionCommand: unexpected state STARTED

"REPACK (VERBOSE);" failed with the following error.

        ERROR:  syntax error at or near ";"

REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) USING INDEX failed with the following error,
while the same command without CONCURRENTLY completed successfully:

        =# REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) parallel_vacuum_table using index
regular_sized_index ;
        ERROR:  cannot process relation "parallel_vacuum_table"
        HINT:  Relation "parallel_vacuum_table" has no identity index.

When I ran REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) on a table that's also a logical
replication target, I saw the following log messages. Is this expected?

        =# REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) t;
        LOG:  logical decoding found consistent point at 1/00021F20
        DETAIL:  There are no running transactions.
        STATEMENT:  REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) t;
