JDK 11.0.3 Update process

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

If you push changes first to jdk/jdk and then to jdk/jdk12 by hg export/import, 
and in the end pull jdk/jdk12 back to jdk/jdk, the changes should be there
twice, shouldn't they? But it's not the case.  E.g., I had a look at
8218662: Allow 204 responses with Content-Length:0

... Obviously, I'm looking at the publicly visible repos. Internally, 
you might be doing something else.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
