I would suggest creating a code-tools/webrev repository, and moving
webrev.ksh there.
Create it where exactly?
Having a copy of webrev in the openjdk forest is useful for people to
get their hands on it. But webrev is not specific to openjdk or a
particular forest, it is just a tool. I keep a copy of webrev in ~/bin
because I use it over numerous forests and I always want the same
version of webrev used (latest one or at least late enough to have the
features I like). I then have to update it periodically.
As I said to Jonathan, I suggest creating a repo at
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/code-tools/webrev.
I agree that webrev is just a tool that is not specific to a particular
forest. That's the reason I'm suggesting that it should be moved to a
more neutral location.
It seems your use case (as well as mine; I do the same as you) should be
simplified by having a single authorative version of the webrev script,
that can be easily updated.
