Tom Lane b8f00a46bc Clean up error cases in psql's COPY TO STDOUT/FROM STDIN code.
Adjust handleCopyOut() to stop trying to write data once it's failed
one time.  For typical cases such as out-of-disk-space or broken-pipe,
additional attempts aren't going to do anything but waste time, and
in any case clean truncation of the output seems like a better behavior
than randomly dropping blocks in the middle.

Also remove dubious (and misleadingly documented) attempt to force our way
out of COPY_OUT state if libpq didn't do that.  If we did have a situation
like that, it'd be a bug in libpq and would be better fixed there, IMO.
We can hope that commit fa4440f516 took care
of any such problems, anyway.

Also fix longstanding bug in handleCopyIn(): PQputCopyEnd() only supports
a non-null errormsg parameter in protocol version 3, and will actively
fail if one is passed in version 2.  This would've made our attempts
to get out of COPY_IN state after a failure into infinite loops when
talking to pre-7.4 servers.

Back-patch the COPY_OUT state change business back to 9.2 where it was
introduced, and the other two fixes into all supported branches.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
