To clarify I was answering the question is there a difference between:

(A) jdk7/jdk7
(B) jkd7/rev/56652b46f328?

and the answer is no, there is no difference.  A clone of each of those 
will yield the same source.

Right, a stable release tag for this build is jdk7-b27, which 
corresponds to changeset 56652b46f328.


The forest  will continue to evolve as checkins continue to go in, as 
you mentioned above.
