+This directory contains scripts that are used for identifying the
+patch that introduced a regression. General information about such
+searches is covered in http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/reghunt.html.
+
+ reg_search searches for a small time interval within a range of
+ dates in which results for a test changed, using a binary search.
+ The functionality for getting sources, building the component to
+ test, and running the test are in other scripts that are run from
+ here.
+
+ reg_periodic invokes separate tools (the same scripts invoked by
+ reg_search) over a range of dates at specified intervals.
+
+ reg_test_template shows the format for the script that runs a test
+ and determines whether to continue the search with a later or
+ earlier date.
