Yeah, this is also true of the later 1.x releases; at a certain point, they
are forked into their own repository (e.g. icedtea-2.x-branchpoint) and then
HEAD (the repository you checked out) becomes the next 2.(x + 1) release, while
2.x.y releases occur on the branch.

What is it you're looking for? For releases, we provide tarballs so you don't
need to check out the repositories unless you intend to submit a patch for a later
release.
