This means that it should now be possible for any contributor to run all the required tests for hotspot pushes (referred to as hs tier 1) on the latest version of the HotSpot source code.

Thanks Aleksey for mirroring, but if you are already working in jdk/hs, 
then you can just add the jdk/hs-submit repo as an additional remote:

$ printf "[paths]\nsubmit = ssh://$(hg config 
ui.username)@hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/hs-submit\n" >> $(hg root)/.hg/hgrc

This way, when you want to test your work, just push to the submit path:

$ hg push --new-branch submit

To avoid forgetting to append the 'submit' path (and thereby pushing to 
the main repository), it is probably best to create an alias:

$ printf "[alias]\nsubmit = push --new-branch submit" >> $HOME/.hgrc

This way you can just type:

$ hg submit

to run your current branch through the jdk/hs-submit system.

Thanks,
Erik
