There was a significant time between the snapshot for the donation was made and the donation actually happened. That's unfortunate, but I don't think anybody here could do anything about that (Geertjan tried, AFAIK).
So, basically, during the gap, people could either work on the original repository, work somewhere "aside" or not work at all. Many folks decided to continue on the original repo, and I don't think that was a wrong decision. And that continues a little bit even after the donation, as the new patches may need to be based on the patches that are only in the original repo. To the best of my knowledge, getting the changes (for donated modules) from hg.nb.org to the incubator-netbeans repository is a work in progress, both process and work wise. But this is likely take some time before fully completed.
