why can I not download the /jdk repository

[Volker Simonis]

Hi,

this may be related to Cygwin. The error "C770817 at C036357
/cygdrive/e/OpenJDK/jdk8" indicates that you are using a
"Cygwin-Mercurial". I would recommend to install and use a native
Windows Mercurial (e.g.
http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/download/index.html) and try with that
one.

I never had problems cloning with tortoisehg, also I didn't succeed to
push with it (I think because of some ssh/private-key issues). So I
use the Cygwin hg for pushing, but that's not very stable for me
either...

Regards,
Volker
