commit    be12aa47e60c45f331e91693efdbc94497d4e9b0
Author:   Michael Paquier <michael@paquier.xyz>
Date:     Mon Feb 04 00:57:20 2019 +0000

    Clarify behavior of initdb's --allow-group-access on Windows in docs
    
    The option is ignored on Windows, and GUC data_directory_mode already
    mentioned that within its description in the documentation.
