The Mercurial repositories jdk/sandbox [0] and jdk/jdk [1] will both 
become read-only on Sep 4. There is already a read-only Git mirror for 
the Mercurial jdk/sandbox repository available at:

    https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk-sandbox

This Git mirror is currently read-only, but on Sep 5 it will become 
read-write (and will no longer be a mirror). All JDK Committers and 
above [2] will be given direct write access to the Git jdk-sandbox 
repository [4] on Sep 5. We won't give you direct write access prior to 
Sep 5 as it might interfere with the mirroring. Note that you will not 
be given direct write access to the jdk Git repository [3], instead you 
will use so-called "pull requests" for contributing changes to the jdk 
Git repository. See the "Workflow" section on the Skara wiki for more 
details [5].

And yes, we will continue to automatically sync the master branch of the 
Git jdk repository [3] to the master branch of the Git jdk-sandbox 
repository [4].

If you have any more questions, just let me know!

Thanks,
Erik
