Unlike pg_dump and pg_dumpall, pg_restore first checks whether the argument passed to --format, --host, and --port is empty before setting the corresponding variable. Consequently, pg_restore does not error if given an empty format name, whereas pg_dump and pg_dumpall do. Empty arguments for --host and --port are ignored by all three applications, so this commit produces no functionality changes there. This behavior should perhaps be reconsidered, but that is left as a future exercise. As with other recent changes to option handling for these applications (commitsb2898baaf7,7c8280eeb5, andbe0d0b457c), no back-patch.
