I think the commit you're looking for is this one:

2002-09-26 00:41 momjian

* doc/src/sgml/runtime.sgml, src/backend/libpq/be-secure.c,
src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure.c: Allow SSL to work withouth
client-side certificate infrastructure.

so you'd probably need to root around in the archives from around then
to see why this was considered a good idea.
