Thanks Vignesh, the patch looks good to me and it works as expected
i.e. doesn't show up the copy_data option in the tab complete for the
alter subscription drop publication command. While on this, I observed
that the new function merge_publications and the error message crossed
the 80char limit, I adjusted that and added a commit message. Please
have a look, if that is okay, add an entry to the commit fest and pass
it on to the committer as I have no further comments.
