Hmm. I read Peter's message as agreeing with Andres rather than with you. And I have to say I agree with Andres as well. I think it's weird to back a commit out only to put a bunch of very similar stuff back in. Even figuring out what you've actually changed here seems rather hard. I couldn't get github to give me a diff showing your changes vs. master. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
