Indeed, we need a plan that deals with all the different bits of
infrastructure and documentation needing updating.
I support a move to a DVCS, probably git, keeping ChangeLogs as-is,
keeping binutils and GDB together but not the other pieces not listed in
(a) and (b) in <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2011-03/msg00486.html>, with the
new repository having copies of the required shared toplevel files but not
being the master for them (that being a separate repository if there is a
single master at all), with the gdbtk bits preferably but not necessarily
going in a separate repository or branch.
