Here's a patch to do so. After removing the discussed bogus information, there were only two notes which I still found relevant, so I stuck those in the appropriate header comments. I didn't preserve the comment about "blank username & group" for tar'ed files, since there are already some comments along these lines in tarCreateHeader(), and these are "postgres" not "blank" nowadays. The pg_dump/pg_restore man pages seemed to already do a good enough job of showing usage examples that I didn't find anything worth adding there. Josh
