5338847fcd Not only did we agree that this 'hint' doesn't belong here, but the
markup's broken.  So just remove it...

e2d6898827 Update documentation for backslashes to mention escape string syntax
more, and standard_conforming_strings less, because in the future non-E
strings will not treat backslashes specially.

Also use E'' strings where backslashes are used in examples. (The
existing examples would have drawn warnings.)

Backpatch to 8.2.X.

20fe8b033a Correct a minor inaccuracy in the pg_dumpall reference page: -g dumps
roles and tablespaces, no longer users and groups. Per Dave Page.

Backport to 8.2 and 8.1.

65fe39ee0a Fix handling of CC (century) format spec in to_date/to_char. According to
standard convention the 21st century runs from 2001-2100, not 2000-2099,
so make it work like that.  Per bug #2885 from Akio Iwaasa.

Backpatch to 8.2, but no further, since this is really a definitional
change; users of older branches are probably more interested in stability.

4fe7a6b51e Fix erroneous implementation of -s in postmaster.c (the switch doesn't take
an optarg).  Add some comments noting that code in three different files has
to be kept in sync.  Fix erroneous description of -S switch (it sets work_mem
not silent_mode), and do some light copy-editing elsewhere in postgres-ref.

880dae5f2b Back out double-run of PDF/PS output. Requires building bookindex.sgml
properly.

9178874f34 Collect the bits of wisdom about dtrace installation in the installation
chapter rather than scattering them across several incomplete fragments.

(This makes the documentation consistent with the backported FAQ_Solaris.)

a88ec7b4bb Some more supported-platforms updates: buildfarm hare is alive again,

we haven't broken ARM support in 8.2.

c184470be3 Document the recently-understood hazard that a rollback can release row-level
locks that logically should not be released, because when a subtransaction
overwrites XMAX all knowledge of the previous lock state is lost.  It seems
unlikely that we will be able to fix this before 8.3...
