1. passing diff options to pg_regress

   Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net> — 2013-01-14T11:57:52Z

   I sometimes find it useful to view a regression test difference using
   other diff options, such as -u -w or more context.  There is currently
   no easy way to accomplish that.
   
   I suggest allowing to override the diff options using an environment
   variable, such as PG_REGRESS_DIFF_OPTS.  The patch is very small.

   I usually do this by manually doing the diff, but thats pretty annoying.

   Great idea.

   Hi Peter,
   
   Idea is really very good.
   
   About the patch:
   Patch looks good to me.
   Applied cleanly on latest sources. make / make install / make check /
   initdb everything works well.
   
   Tested with few options and it is working well.
   
   However, I think you need to add this in docs. Letting people know about
   this environment variable to make use of that.
   
   Thanks
