Subject: Don't elide blank lines when accumulating psql command history.
X-Git-Tag: REL8_3_17~8
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=692ca693b90667fbbf25b8e8fc99c120543df114;p=postgresql

Don't elide blank lines when accumulating psql command history.

This can change the meaning of queries, if the blank line happens to
occur in the middle of a quoted literal, as per complaint from Tomas Vondra.

Back-patch to all supported branches.
