Bruce Momjian 33a6dcfcce Update wording: 
< * Allow building with directories containing spaces
> * Allow building in directories containing spaces
<   There are two capabilities here, first the ability to build from a
<   source directory that contains spaces, and second the ability to install
<   into a directory that contains spaces.  The first is probably not
<   possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools do not fully support
<   spaces in path names.  The second is possible with proper quoting in
<   the makefiles.  Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it
<   is possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain spaces and
<   then copy the install to a directory with spaces.
>   This is probably not possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools
>   do not fully support quoting of paths with spaces.
>
> * Allow installing to directories containing spaces

>   This is possible if proper quoting is added to the makefiles for the

>   spaces and then copy the install to a directory with spaces.

picked up the right entries ...

Neil Conway 480777e56c Allow 'ELSEIF' as an alternative to 'ELSIF' in PL/PgSQL. There have been 
several reports of users being confused when they attempt to use ELSEIF
and run into trouble due to PL/PgSQL's lax parser. The parser will be
improved for 8.1, but we can fix most of the problem by allowing ELSEIF
for now.

Tom Lane e9c03c3b1b Disallow the combination VACUUM FULL FREEZE for safety's sake, for the 
reasons I outlined in pghackers a few days ago.

Also, undo someone's overly optimistic decision to reduce tuple state
checks from if (...) elog() to Asserts.  If I trusted this code more,
I might think it was a good idea to disable these checks in production
installations.  But I don't.

Bruce Momjian 8408f65252 Rework libpq threaded SIGPIPE handling to avoid interference with 
calling applications.  This is done by blocking sigpipe in the libpq
thread and using sigpending/sigwait to possibily discard any sigpipe we
generated.

Neil Conway 64b5789497 This is a little patch to correct the documentation on CVS. The URL for 
downloading CVS at cyclic.com site is long defunct, and I changed the text
to not overtly recommend CVS 1.10, a now fairly old version.
