However, your first statement seems to indicate the opposite. Can you elaborate? All, As it is, I've added interactive mode psql_error notifications about the resulting branching state of any branching commands, and any attempt to send non-branching commands or queries while in an inactive branch will generate a psql_error saying that the command was ignored. Waiting til I get what should or shouldn't be done about prompts before issuing the next patch revision.
