commit r8-9944-gd11f667d830fd7a44b5dbd29856c104f4113270a
Author: Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>

    Clean up references to Subversion in documentation sources.
    
    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 sense, 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.
