The nio/nio/jdk repository is where the development was originally 
hosted before it was integrated into jdk7. It's not used much now which 
is why it isn't sync'ed too often. The reason we keep it around is 
because it has a number of experimental changes that aren't in jdk7. 
I've just edited the page to hopefully make that a bit clearer.

It's probably best if you clone jdk7/tl - that's the forest where all 
fixes/changes to the core libraries are pushed. That's the reason why 
you see 755dd6bdccca in that repository. It will be pushed to the jdk7 
master at the next integration slot.
