Jeroen,
Does cloning from a mercurial tag work for you ?
e.g : hg clone -r jdk7u21-b12
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-dev/jdk jdk.7u21-b12
I don't work with tags too often but I would have thought that should work.
regards,
Sean.

Hi Seán,
I know I've asked before, but can we *please* get source bundles published for
security releases?
I know that the code is in Mercurial, but it's just not the same.
Regards,
Jeroen

Subject: [7u communication] Schedule and release renumbering update
Hi,
In line with the updates for JDK 8 [0], here's a proposed update of
plans for the next release of the JDK 7 Updates Project.
Here at Oracle we've been very busy accelerating the development and
release of security fixes and new security features to address issues
with Java in web browsers.
With the recent JDK 7u21 security release [1], we need to examine the
impact on the schedule [2] for the next JDK 7 Updates release.
For past releases developed within this Project, like 7u4, our approach
to schedule them has been to put them a few months apart from Oracle
Java SE Critical Patch Updates [3] in order to minimize the number of
concurrent code lines, and the related synchronization and
administrative efforts.
Looking at the the next scheduled dates for Oracle Java SE Critical
Patch Updates [3], the next opportunity that fits that description is in
August.
Therefore, I would like to open the following proposal for discussion:
* The next release of this Project will be in August
* Stabilization forests for that release will not be created this
month
Meanwhile, please continue to deliver fixes to jdk7u-dev.
In addition, as announced earlier [4], we need to adjust the version
numbers of future releases.
In order to avoid going through the effort of renumbering releases again
at some point in the future, which involves adjustments to bug database
records, Mercurial repositories, and a number of other administrative
tasks, I'd like to open the following proposal for
discussion:
* The next release of this Project will be called 7u40
* Starting with the next release, JDK 7 Update release numbers will
be multiples of 20, in order to leave ample room for other kinds
of releases should the need arise.
Both proposals are open for discussion for one week until Thursday,
April 25th.
Regards,
Sean.
