```bash
ahab postgres dump <path> # pg_dump, custom format
ahab postgres import <path> # drop, create, pg_restore
ahab postgres dump -F plain <path> # pg_dump, plain sql
ahab postgres dump -F tar <path> # pg_dump, tar
ahab postgres dump -F directory <d> # pg_dump, a directory of files
ahab postgres dump -F cluster <path> # pg_dumpall, roles and all databases
ahab postgres dump -F plain -z <path> # any of them, gzipped
ahab postgres import <path> # drop, create, then restore
```
The format of a dump being imported is read from the file rather than its name.
A custom format dump starts with `PGDMP` and a tar one with `toc.dat`, both of
which go to `pg_restore`, as does a directory produced by `pg_dump -Fd`.
Anything else is treated as sql and fed to `psql` with `ON_ERROR_STOP` and
`--single-transaction`, so a bad file rolls back instead of half applying.
A whole cluster dump from `pg_dumpall` is recognised by its header and handled
differently again: it creates its own databases and carries role statements, so
the database is dropped but not recreated, the dump goes to `psql` connected to
`postgres`, and it runs without `ON_ERROR_STOP` because roles that already exist
report errors that are expected. Gzipped dumps are decompressed on the way in,
whichever of the three they hold.

`ahab link` moves untracked paths out of the repository into an out-of-repo
