Chasing changing repository locations

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hello!

I just noticed that the main development repository for OpenJDK has moved
again from [1] to [2]. Can someone explain me what happened and why the
repository was moved?

I was a bit confused because I submitted a changeset, it got accepted and
merged but my change didn't show up the old repository [1]. Then I searched
around and found out it ended up in [2].

This is mildly annoying since I will now have to check out the repository
again which takes quite some time on some of the development machines I use
(not all of them are mine and some have a slower internet connection than
 others) and there is also the risk that I miss important changes and my
changes conflict with changes already submitted in the moved repository.

Is there a system behind the repositories moving around? And is there a way
to track this easily, e.g. does Mercurial have any commands that are particularly
useful in these situations? Is there maybe a way to add the new repository as
a new remote in Mercurial similar to what can be done in git with "git remote"
and then just fetch the changes from the new repository?

Sorry if my questions seem a bit stupid, I'm just trying to understand the
workflow behind the current systems :-).

Thanks,
Adrian
