commit    823be6b7fd7898de0d7d17b9f371c4505e998cd2
Author:   Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Date:     Mon Aug 18 05:17:49 2014 +0000
First released in: 9.5.0, 9.0.19, 9.1.15, 9.2.10, 9.3.6, 9.4.0

    Fix obsolete mention of non-int64 support in CREATE SEQUENCE documentation.
    
    The old text explained what happened if we didn't have working int64
    arithmetic.  Since that case has been explicitly rejected by configure
    since 8.4.3, documenting it in the 9.x branches can only produce confusion.
