Depends how you commit it back; in theory you should be able to hg export the changeset and hg import --exact it to the gate repository, which will attach it to the same parent changesets. I've done this between icedtea and JDK7 repositories. The only problem I do foresee is jtreg as I doubt the comments for these changesets have Sun bug IDs... sigh.- -- Andrew :-) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
