One thing I don't understand is, why is something in the repository URL
named with a release (-like) number? Is the repository only made for
JDK7, and we start a fresh one for JDK8? Doesn't seem to make much sense
to me. Why not simply drop the '7' and name it 'jdk'? My personal
favorite is 'openjdk' though. IMO the URLs should read like:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjdk/<sub-repo>
