It causes mysqlbinlog to not stop after the end of the requested binlog, and instead read
until the end of the last binlog of mysqld (beware of endless loops if you pipe this
into the same mysqld).
I.e. it enables back (at customer's request) what we considered (and I still do)
as BUG#3204, but now with an option instead of being the default behaviour.
The default behaviour is still to stop after the end of the requested binlog,
whether --read-from-remote-server or not.
in tests after the last 4.1->5.0 merge, and:
*** The same as ChangeSet@1.1822.1.1, 2004-05-14 23:08:03+02:00, guilhem@mysql.com of MySQL 4.0 ***
Replication testsuite: making the master-slave synchronization less likely to fail,
by adding sleep-and-retries (max 4 times) if MASTER_POS_WAIT() returns NULL
in sync_with_master and sync_slave_with_master.
The problem showed up only today, in MySQL 5.0 in rpl_server_id2.test,
but may affect 4.x as well, so I fixed 4.x too. Note that I am also fixing
5.0, with the same exact patch, because I don't want to leave 5.0 broken
until the next 4.0->4.1->5.0 merge.

allow several -e on the command line
clarify --help text
make -B to work as advertised
in force mode execute the rest of multi-statement line in case of error in one statement
Fixed security problem that password was temporarly reset when someone changed GRANT for a user. (Bug #3404)
Fixed problem with PROCEDURE analyse() and impossible WHERE (Bug #2238)
Don't auto-repair tables in mysqlcheck if table type doesn't support 'check' command.
Marked --no-set-names as deprecated, the name is misleading and --no- in front
makes it cumbersome to use with --disable or --skip prefixes.
The old option will still work for the time being.
I am fixing it here in 4.1, not in 4.0, as it goes with another change
which I did in 4.1 (fix for BUG#3204
""mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server this_binlog.001" prints all binlogs").
