OpenJDK/hotspot browsable current source?

When I want to browse the current sources in the HotSpot tree, I start from

    http://openjdk.java.net/

click on the (tiny) "7" in "Source code / Mercurial (6, 7)" from the left-hand navigation panel.  That gets me to the JDK Master forest.  I add "/hotspot" to that URL to get to the root of the HotSpot tree.  Then I click on the "manifest" for the 
change (or tag, or branch).  That gets me to a page where I can rummage around in what I think of as "the HotSpot sources.  E.g., the current one is

    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/hotspot/file/d61c7c22b25c

and from there you can click down to, for example, 

    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/hotspot/file/d61c7c22b25c/src/share/vm/runtime/globals.hpp

(which I see you changed 3 weeks ago).

A bit of history: the OpenGrok instance was running on a private web site registered by Tom Marble.  I assume he's let it expire.  The plan was always to run an OpenGrok instance on openjdk.java.net, but I don't think that's moved beyond the "plan" stage, and the plan may have changed.
