I would suggest creating a code-tools/webrev repository, and moving webrev.ksh there.

To keep backwards compatibility, it's relatively simple to replace make/script/webrev.ksh with a thin wrapper that does:

1) check for the existence of a hg repo in e.g. common/code-tools/webrev, and if not, clones it, otherwise, does a hg pull -u.
2) sanity checks that common/code-tools/webrev/webrev.ksh exists
3) calls common/code-tools/webrev/webrev.ksh with $@.

Magnus,

It's not clear to me whether you mean a new repository within the standard existing code-tools project, or another repo in a JDK forest, in a "common" subdirectory.

How important is it to keep [compatibility with] make/script/webrev.ksh?
