Yeah it's the commits c00c3249e and bda76c1c8. First one changed the
output to not use to_char so that we could produce correct ISO timestamp
and disallowed the infinity altogether, the second added custom handling
for infinity, but the code does not differentiate between negative and
positive infinity. I think the json code does not need to have custom
handling of infinity but could just call the EncodeSpecialTimestamp() if
it was exported from the timestamp module.
