Correct.

In fact, I don't understand how pushlog works.

A push can happen anywhere, people push to jdk9/dev, jdk9/client or jdk9/hs-*. There are even invisible people pushing to the non-existent jdk9/cpu. All of them end up into jdk9/jdk9 and then synced back. While the repo is distributed, it looks like the pushlog is always local.
