Tom Lane 6d3ede5f1c Fix psql's "\g target" meta-command to work with COPY TO STDOUT.
Previously, \g would successfully execute the COPY command, but
the target specification if any was ignored, so that the data was
always dumped to the regular query output target.  This seems like
a clear bug, so let's not just fix it but back-patch it.

While at it, adjust the documentation for \copy to recommend
"COPY ... TO STDOUT \g foo" as a plausible alternative.

Back-patch to 9.5.  The problem exists much further back, but the
code associated with \g was refactored enough in 9.5 that we'd
need a significantly different patch for 9.4, and it doesn't
seem worth the trouble.

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:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
