HEADSUP: Potential get_source.sh issue

Hello all;

If you are using get_source.sh to *update* local repositories be on the lookout for messages like:

(run 'hg update' to get a working copy)

in the output. If you see this message you need to run:

sh common/bin/hgforest.sh update

to update your local repo to the head. A bug in hgforest.sh last week prevented automatic updates (the "-u" was omitted from the pull command) and if you have the buggy hgforest.sh as your local copy then your local copy won't itself be updated by the fix in JDK-8038435.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Mike
