where it doesn't belong, and put it in the psql reference page.

370f90970d Cause pg_hba.conf file inclusion (@file stuff) to behave as documented, 
that is, files are sought in the same directory as the referencing file.
Also allow absolute paths in @file constructs.  Improve documentation
to actually say what is allowed in an included file.

bbb2e21e14 I was recently surprised to find that EXTRACT's day of the week 
numbering is different than TO_CHAR's ditto. EXTRACT starts at 0==Sunday
while TO_CHAR starts at 1==Sunday.

A suggestion for two documentation notes is attached as a patch to
current CVS HEAD.

480777e56c Allow 'ELSEIF' as an alternative to 'ELSIF' in PL/PgSQL. There have been 
several reports of users being confused when they attempt to use ELSEIF
and run into trouble due to PL/PgSQL's lax parser. The parser will be
improved for 8.1, but we can fix most of the problem by allowing ELSEIF
for now.

e9c03c3b1b Disallow the combination VACUUM FULL FREEZE for safety's sake, for the 
reasons I outlined in pghackers a few days ago.

Also, undo someone's overly optimistic decision to reduce tuple state
checks from if (...) elog() to Asserts.  If I trusted this code more,
I might think it was a good idea to disable these checks in production
installations.  But I don't.

5374d097de Change planner to use the current true disk file size as its estimate of 
a relation's number of blocks, rather than the possibly-obsolete value
in pg_class.relpages.  Scale the value in pg_class.reltuples correspondingly
to arrive at a hopefully more accurate number of rows.  When pg_class
contains 0/0, estimate a tuple width from the column datatypes and divide
that into current file size to estimate number of rows.  This improved
methodology allows us to jettison the ancient hacks that put bogus default
values into pg_class when a table is first created.  Also, per a suggestion
from Simon, make VACUUM (but not VACUUM FULL or ANALYZE) adjust the value
it puts into pg_class.reltuples to try to represent the mean tuple density
instead of the minimal density that actually prevails just after VACUUM.
These changes alter the plans selected for certain regression tests, so
update the expected files accordingly.  (I removed join_1.out because
it's not clear if it still applies; we can add back any variant versions
as they are shown to be needed.)
