I think in reality there's been catversion updates after most of the recent beta1 releases. 9.3 (one): git log 817a89423f429a6a8b36847ee499f5b6be39c3be.. -- src/include/catalog/catversion.h 9.2 (one, but reverted): git log f70fa835e08eee4cb2dc0f72d66cf633089c37e8..REL9_2_0 -- src/include/catalog/catversion.h 9.1 (two): git log 993c5e59047dd568d4831f7ec5c6199acd21f17f..REL9_1_0 -- src/include/catalog/catversion.h 9.0 (one) git log -p f9d9b2b34a094b94fda39231c16ab5f2e6bfbbe4..REL9_0_0 -- src/include/catalog/catversion.h (makes me really wish betas were properly tagged with git as well...)
