I am trying to build openjdk 8 locally. And I found from the mailing list
that there are lots of commits into different repos, for example:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/jdk
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/2d/jdk
Do 2d and tl (tl == tools?) behave like other forest which hold the commit
locally? Is jdk8/jdk8 the real openjdk8 repository and it will merge the
commits from 2d, tl or any other forests?
jdk8/jdk8 is the "master" forest. tl and 2d are examples of group forests
(the tools and libraries group and java2D group respectively). The group
forests are merged up to the master forest periodically and then have all
other changes pulled back down into them. Different group forests
synchronize with the master at different times. I don't know if there is a
schedule in place yet for JDK8.

There are some commits in tl not be merged into the jdk8. Some of them are
changing minor versions, which makes it more like jdk8 :-)
