e5d30091e6 Fix pg_indexes view so that it shows the index's tablespace not the
parent table's tablespace, as per gripe from Michael Kleiser.  Choose
a more plausible column order for this view and pg_tables.  Update
documentation of these views, which was missed in original patch.

337ffcddba Adjust configuration-files GUC behavior as per my recent proposal.
The vars are renamed to data_directory, config_file, hba_file, and
ident_file, and are guaranteed to be set to accurate absolute paths
during postmaster startup.
This commit does not yet do anything about hiding path values from
non-superusers.

7ca3a0f3e2 Whack some sense into the configuration-file-location patch.
Refactor code into something reasonably understandable, cause
use of the feature to not fail in standalone backends or in
EXEC_BACKEND case, fix sloppy guc.c table entries, make the
documentation minimally usable.

513e89b44b please find attached an alternate submission which addresses open item
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.

(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
    it simplifies/changes several makefiles.

(2) the documentation reflects the change.

(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

6c61af6654 Remove arithmetic operators on the 1-byte-char datatype, as per proposals
made several times in the past.  Add coercion functions between "char"
and integer so that a workaround is possible if needed.

4171bb869f Detect overflow in integer arithmetic operators (integer, smallint, and
bigint variants).  Clean up some inconsistencies in error message wording.
Fix scanint8 to allow trailing whitespace in INT64_MIN case.  Update
int8-exp-three-digits.out, which seems to have been ignored by the last
couple of people to modify the int8 regression test, and remove
int8-exp-three-digits-win32.out which is thereby exposed as redundant.

4c5e810fcd Code review for NOWAIT patch: downgrade NOWAIT from fully reserved keyword
to unreserved keyword, use ereport not elog, assign a separate error code
for 'could not obtain lock' so that applications will be able to detect
that case cleanly.

fa6fa8e549 This patch attempts to outline the supported level of SSL within libpq.
I haven't mentioned any of
~/.postgresql/{root.crt,postgresql.crt,postresql.key} even though they
are checked for in the code, since they do not appear to be supported. I
base this on discussions in pgsql-hackers.

31ae87c332 This patch attempts to note the use of the root.crt file in the server.
Given that PostgreSQL will output a message complaining about it's
absence if you're using SSL mode, I feel it's important that it gets a
mention in the documentation at some point.

a3c53c834f This patch from Alvaro Herrera adds transaction ID to the list of
log_line_prefix escapes. The escape sequence used for this is %x.
%x previously meant "postmaster et al. stop here" -- this has been
renamed to %q.

5b564e5307 Fix some shortcomings in psql's autocommit-off mode concerning detection
of commands for which a transaction block should not be forced.  Recognize
VACUUM and other PreventTransactionChain commands; handle nested /* .. */
comments correctly; handle multibyte encodings correctly.

768b647ead Now that I look, table 8-1 has some other marginal misstatements in it.
If we're going to put brackets around optional precision specs in some
entries, we'd better do it in all.
