This is OK, although the set of changes for the libstdc++ manual like
this gave me pause:

IIUC the statements being modified here are incorrect; since the manuals
are packaged with the GCC sources, they go in lock step with the source
version, and the text of the manual describes the GCC version being
built, not mainline. Perhaps the libstdc++ documentation maintainers
would like to correct this separately?
For similar reasons, I suggest backporting this patch to all active GCC
release branches, namely GCC 8 and GCC 9, so that manuals packaged with
upcoming releases from those branches will correctly point to the GIT
repository instead of SVN.
