Need a clarification in copydir.c file of src/port directory, In the following snippet the destination directory is created first then the source directory is read. Suppose if I don't have permission to read the source, even then the destination directory would be created.
I just want to know whether there is any reason for doing so?



Under what circumstances do you imagine this will happen, since the postmaster user owns all the files and directories?
