Proposal to add a branch that tracks mainline JDK

Hi everyone,

Currently it is not easy to figure out exactly what is different
between the master JDK and the mobile one. For this reason, could I
propose adding a read only branch to the mobile repository that tracks
the JDK proper? I believe this is what Leyden already does. This would
effectively make it much easier to diff the JDK with mobile to find
out what changes mobile has made to the codebase, both with command
line tools in the local repository but more importantly the GitHub UI.
I'm not sure if Skara does support this however, if it doesn't, feel
free to ignore this proposal.

best regards,
Julian
