This is the snapshot of the gcc2 CVS repository on which EGCS was
based.  Subsequent changes in the gcc2 CVS repository are on
premerge-fsf-branch.  That repository started out as a collection of
RCS files, and initially not all files were version-controlled, so the
gcc2 history does not contain a complete buildable set of source
files; in particular, documentation and ChangeLogs were not
version-controlled until late in gcc2 history.
