According to the comments, we initialize sendTimeLineIsHistoric
and sendTimeLine here for the benefit of WalSndSegmentOpen.
However, the only way that can happen is if logical_read_xlog_page
calls WALRead. And since logical_read_xlog_page initializes the
same global variables internally, we don't need to also do it here.
These initializations have been here since replication slots were
introduced in commit 858ec11858
. They
were certainly useless at that time, too, because logical decoding
didn't yet exist then, and physical replication doesn't examine any
WAL at the time of slot creation. I haven't checked all the
intermediate versions, but I suspect there's no point at which
this code ever did anything useful.
To reduce future confusion, remove the code. Since there's no
functional defect, no back-patch.
