Re: [PATCH] Move user options to the end of the command in pg_upgrade

Hi Tom,

thanks for you reply. You're right, and I apologise for the confusion.
Options I was talking about are specified via the `--old-options`
parameter of the pg_upgrade (ex.: --old-options '-c
unix_socket_directories=/run')
Mentioning of the environment variable came only from my own
confusion. I also attached the mentioned patch.

Regards,
