if you compare pg_dump --help, pg_repackdb --help
then you will see the inconsistency.

This is legacy behavior, but can we move some of the error checks in
do_analyze_rel to an earlier point?
we call cluster_rel before analyze_rel, cluster_rel is way more time-consuming,
a failure in analyze_rel means all the previous work (cluster_rel) is wasted.

+ else if (HeadMatches("REPACK", "(*") &&
+ !HeadMatches("REPACK", "(*)"))
+ {
+ /*
+ * This fires if we're in an unfinished parenthesized option list.
+ * get_previous_words treats a completed parenthesized option list as
+ * one word, so the above test is correct.
+ */
+ if (ends_with(prev_wd, '(') || ends_with(prev_wd, ','))
+ COMPLETE_WITH("VERBOSE");
+ else if (TailMatches("VERBOSE"))
+ COMPLETE_WITH("ON", "OFF");
+ }
this part can also support the ANALYZE option?

ClusterStmt
should be removed from src/tools/pgindent/typedefs.list?

doc/src/sgml/ref/clusterdb.sgml
  <para>
   <application>clusterdb</application> has been superceded by
   <application>pg_repackdb</application>.
  </para>
google told me, "superceded" should be "superseded"
