Source Bundle Question

Hi,

I noticed some differences beween the source that is released in the bundle vs what is in mecurial for the same build/tag. What mercurial hotspot tree is used to build the source bundles for hotspot?

For example in build 105 source bundle downloaded here:

http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/promoted/b105/

there exists support for UseCompressedStrings but I can't find that support in mercurial. For example this file:

openjdk/hotspot/src/share/vm/runtime/globals.hpp

has product values for UseCompressedStrings, SpecialStringCompress, SpecialStringInflate, SpecialStringCompareToCC, SpecialStringIndexOfCC and SpecialStringEqualsCC. Whereas the same file with b105 tag doesn't:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/hotspot/file/6709c14587c2/src/share/vm/runtime/globals.hpp

Am I'm using the wrong hotspot repository?

Thanks,
-Kurt
