    pg_dump: Fix ArchiveEntry handling of some empty values · 19455c9f
    Alvaro Herrera authored
    Commit f831d4ac changed what pg_dump emits for some empty fields: they
    were output as empty strings before, NULL pointer afterwards.  That
    makes old pg_restore unable to work (crash) with such files, which is
    unacceptable.  Return to the original representation by explicitly
    setting those struct members to "" where needed; remove some no longer
    needed checks for NULL input.
    
    We can declutter the code a little by returning to NULLs when we next
    update the archive version, so add a note to remind us later.
