Whoever owns that needs to update it to the version that supports HG.
I put some partial links to webrev here:
   http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunOnMac/SoftwareDevelopment

Will update when the newest version breaks out somewhere.

Still figuring it out...  But I'm trying to accumulate some wisdom here:

I'm using mq patches without committing them.
It remains to be seen how this scales, but I'll be using MQ
even after the Hotspot repos. open up for commits.

Since Da Vinci Machine is a downstream project of Hotspot,
and since both will be moving pretty quickly, we will probably
use patches exclusive on the DVM (mlvm) project.

MQ makes this relatively simple, by allowing patch
directories to be their own little repositories.
So you get patch versioning, and your diffs are
second-order diffs relative to the upstream project (Hotspot).

Best,
