I just updated https://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/reghunt.html , mostly by
removing obsolete aspects related to SVN:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2020-01/msg01121.html
If you have further updates to that page, please go ahead and
simply make them (or let me know).
Also contrib/reghunt appears in need of *quite* some updates.
Or do we want to retire it?

It still says "The following SVN commands are ..."

I've never read that web page or looked at contrib/reghunt before, but
most of it can probably be done by 'git bisect' run. The web page
should be rewritten in terms of using git bisect. I can take a stab at
that if nobody else wants to.
It's possible that the various contrib/reghunt/bin/gcc-test-* helper
scripts could still be useful with 'git bisect run' as the building
blocks for a script that checks a given revision.

Yes, that's another piece I'll tackle today/tomorrow.

That would be great, thank you!
