         doc
         * invoke.texi: Document -fsave-repository and -grepository
This is not proper English, but I don't understand the patch well enough to completely fix it.


I just followed previous examples.
e.g.
        * doc/invoke.texi (Warning Options): Document -Winvalid-pch.
...
        * doc/invoke.texi: Document -fbranch-target-load-optimize and
        -fbranch-target-load-optimize2.
...
        * doc/invoke.texi: Document dumps, .btl, .cfg, and .bypass.

How about following entry?

      * invoke.texi (Debugging options): Document new symbol separation
       options. Two new options are -fsave-repository and -grepository.

Also, this is absolutely not sufficient for users to understand what
this enhancement is all about.  That is, the big picture is missing:
Why would one want to use these options?


I want to document first paragraph from cppss.c somewhere but
I do not know where. suggestion ?

Thanks,
