Bug #31877	SHOW BINLOG etc. should not be part of replication statements

Description:
These sections

12.6.1.3. SET SQL_LOG_BIN Syntax
12.6.1.4. SHOW BINLOG EVENTS Syntax
12.6.1.5. SHOW BINARY LOGS Syntax

are now part of

12.6.1. SQL Statements for Controlling Master Servers

which in turn is part of 

12.6 Replication Statements

This is IMO not a good place. Binary log is a prerequisite for replication, but I would not say that these are "Replication Statements". 

One can use the binary log also for backup/point in time recovery purposes. 

How to repeat:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication-master-sql.html

Suggested fix:
Please move these to 

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/show.html

and leave a stub in the replication chapter that backreferences these entries.

Also, quick inspection of 

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/binary-log.html

does not show any references to these statements - IMO it really ought to be mentioned here that these exist, and a link should point there.

Thank you for the bug report.

Assigning to myself, since it's Replication docs, will discuss action to take with Stefan and MC.

Reassigned to Paul at his request. See Bug #23023.

Taking this one and Bug #23023 after discussing with Paul.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant products.
