These are the promotion and sub-group repositories, and you don't need 
to explicitly pull any of them.

Developer work goes into many of these, which are then run up the repo 
trees after testing.   Work for a given repository is pushed to the 
corresponding *-gate repo, and then internally promoted.

The latest tested build of the full JDK can always be found in the 
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7  forest of repositories.
