Subject: [PATCH] Clean up references to Subversion in documentation sources.
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2020 16:09:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200113140202.GA63759@thyrsus.com> (raw)
Clean up references to SVN in in the GCC docs, redirecting to Git
documentation as appropriate.
Where references to "the source code repository" rather than a
specific VCS make sensxse, I have used them. You might, after
all, change VCSes again someday.
I have not modified either generated HTML files nor maintainer scripts.
These changes should be complete with repect to the documentation tree.
