hg: jdk7/hotspot/hotspot: 6788797: Fork HS14 to HS15 - renumber Major and build numbers of JVM

[Volker Simonis]

..and what does "Fork" mean in this context. For me this sounds as if
the HS14 will continue to live in its own "branch". Will this be the
"Express" VM which will be integrated into JDK 1.6 eventually? And
where will the future development (I assume its more or less bug
fixing?) of HS14 take place - will it be an open repository or a
closed one?

Thanks for the clarifications,
Volker
