The files itself are the same. The difference is that is a single clone
vs. a clone from 8 different repos ("top", jdk, hotspot, jaxp, jaxws,
hotspot, corba, nashorn) into the right folder names.

The source repo history is different as the forest needed to be
consolidated. I don't know how exaclty that was done.

If you are working from sources you get a single source tarball now vs.
from 8 previously. It should make life easier for you. YMMV.

Thanks,
