commit    2b53d583de96e82d98b1f87c9fbc9f60aa292c9e
Author:   Heikki Linnakangas <heikki.linnakangas@iki.fi>
Date:     Fri Dec 05 12:27:56 2014 +0000
First released in: 9.5.0, 9.0.19, 9.1.15, 9.2.10, 9.3.6, 9.4.0

    Give a proper error message if initdb password file is empty.
    
    Used to say just "could not read password from file "...": Success", which
    isn't very informative.
    
    Mats Erik Andersson. Backpatch to all supported versions.
