I was just running a test: looking at a way to transfer large amounts of data for backup purposes with a tool that's especially suited for deltas. I know about rsync, but this was a thought experiment. I was only surprised at the restriction of pg_dump that must create a new directory every time. Was looking for a rationale. Also, git init is a safe operation: within a repository, git init says it reinitialized, but does not lose files. Haven't tried with local changes, or a dirty index. Finally, when NOT using the plain text format, pg_restore can restore more than one table at a time, using the --jobs flag. On a multi-core, multi-spindle machine, this can cut down the restore time tremendously.
