I guess I can pull from this and from http://www.octave.org/hg/octave  
to the same working copy, and so I can have them both in the same  
place without pestering anyone else.  Hooray for distributed source  
control.

Should this link be at the bottom of http://www.gnu.org/software/ 
octave/download.html with the other development source links?   
"Bugfixes in the 3.0.x branch are developed in the repository at  
<link>" ?  Or perhaps some equivalent statement when 3.2 is released?

Cheers,
Rob
