Add a new optional Makefile variable PROVE_TESTS that, if passed as a
space-separated list of paths relative to the Makefile invoking
$(prove_check) or $(prove_installcheck), runs just those tests instead
of t/*.pl .

to drive tests for backup and restore, replication, etc - anything that can't
really be expressed using pg_regress or the isolation test framework.
The tests are invoked via perl's 'prove' command, wrapped in PostgreSQL
makefiles to handle instance setup etc. See the $(prove_check) and
$(prove_installcheck) targets in Makefile.global. By default every test in the

You should prefer to write tests using pg_regress in src/test/regress, or
isolation tester specs in src/test/isolation, if possible. If not, check to
see if your new tests make sense under an existing tree in src/test, like
