Tom Lane bf429cebd0 Improve git_changelog as per discussion with Robert Haas. 1. Resurrect the behavior where old commits on master will have Branch: labels for branches sprouted after the commit was made. I'm still dubious about this mode, but if you want it, say --post-date or -p. 2. Annotate the Branch: labels with the release or branch in which the commit was publicly released. For example, on a release branch you could see Branch: REL8_3_STABLE Release: REL8_3_2 [`92c3a8004`] 2008-03-29 00:15:37 +0000 showing that the fix was released in 8.3.2. Commits on master will usually instead have notes like Branch: master Release: REL8_4_BR [`6fc9d4272`] 2008-03-29 00:15:28 +0000 showing that this commit is ancestral to release branches 8.4 and later. If no Release: marker appears, the commit hasn't yet made it into any release. 3. Add support for release branches older than 7.4. 4. The implementation is improved by running git log on each branch only back to where the branch sprouts from master. This saves a good deal of time (about 50% of the runtime when generating the complete history). We generate the post-date-mode tags via a direct understanding that they should be applied to master commits made before the branch sprouted, rather than backing into them via matching (which isn't any too reliable when people used identical log messages for successive commits).		2010-09-26 20:22:17 -04:00

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:

	http://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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
