+This is the IcedTea variant of the Mercurial Forest Extension.
+http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ForestExtension
+
+The original forest extension was at http://hg.akoha.org/hgforest
+but is no longer maintained. Mercurial adopted the somehwat similar
+concept of subrepositories as officially supported extension.
+http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Subrepository
+This is not compatible with forests though (forsts require some
+protocol extensions not supported by plain Mercurial).
+
+This repository is maintained to support the IcedTea and OpenJDK
+hackers who are still using mercurial forests. It incorporates
+changes from the following two forks:
+https://bitbucket.org/pmezard/hgforest-crew
+https://bitbucket.org/gxti/hgforest
