The following patch adds start/stop times for pg_dump and pg_dumpall
when verbose output is selected:

Uh, do those markers not appear in that dump type? I thought they did. I just tried pg_restore -v and while I see the lines, they are changing every time I run it, meaning it isn't stored in the file but is showing current time. I looked in the dump file and I don't see the dates either. So, in non-ascii format, I need to dump a comment record and read it back on restore? Yuck.

Yes. Hacking the output routines alone is almost never the right way
to do things in pg_dump.
My feeling is that if anyone cares to tackle this, it would be
appropriate to add a record type that carries a user-supplied
comment, and then people could do something like
pg_dump --comment "generated on `date`"
if they want to have a timestamp. I don't want a timestamp put
into the file by default, because that creates problems for
comparing dump files.

OK, new patch. This puts start/stop times into dumps if you use -v
during dumping. It creates a new node type:
--
-- PostgreSQL database dump
--
SET client_encoding = 'SQL_ASCII';
SET check_function_bodies = false;
--
-- Name: DUMP TIMESTAMP; Type: DUMP TIMESTAMP; Schema: -; Owner:
--
-- Started on 2004-06-05 00:41:25 EDT
...
--
-- Name: DUMP TIMESTAMP; Type: DUMP TIMESTAMP; Schema: -; Owner:
--
-- Completed on 2004-06-05 00:44:28 EDT
--
-- PostgreSQL database dump complete
--
One issue is that the system dumps certain settings into the output file
in ascii dumps, but pg_restore sets them on its own during the restore.
Because the timestamp can't be done during pg_restore, it has to be a
special node.
