You should either clone:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/

which is the latest JDK 8 Updates Master (and which should definitely work) or:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u-dev/

which is the latest JDK 8 Updates Development branch.

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8 is probably not what you want (it is
the now read-only, jdk8 master repository from March 2014).
