Add -D option to specify data directory to pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog

Enterprise / PostgreSQL - Heikki Linnakangas [iki.fi] - 25 September 2014 05:37 UTC

It was confusing that to other commands, like initdb and postgres, you would pass the data directory with "-D datadir", but pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog would take just plain path, without the "-D". With this patch, pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog also accept "-D datadir".
