That is not the issue - remember I'm the one who made the last 2 or 3 
Java package releases.
The issue is that I'd like to find out the history of a number of 
individual files. That info was stored in O-F svn, I can't find it in my 
local svn repo (not in readable format, that is).
The new SourceForge setup made it quite a bit harder to track it all 
down, and at the moment they also have problems with their SVN viewer.

I could obviously simply copy the new (= most recent) ones from my local 
SVN Java package repo over the Java files in my local core Octave 
Mercurial repo and let hg do the job.
But I'm afraid a few pitfalls may be looming there. I'd rather be sure 
about exactly what has to be updated.

Admittedly some clues are in the NEWS file in the java-1.2.9.tar.gz 
package but I'm quite confident that info isn't complete as far as code 
level goes.

(Hmmm, perhaps Jordi might interpret all this as a case for hg....;-) )
