Of the 32 repos in Mercurial, not all are active. We assume we'll have
Git-style development under Apache, with pull requests. That is, however, a
different working/infrastructure style than we have had in Oracle, with
parallel integration (http://wiki.netbeans.org/HgParallelProjectIntegration=
).
Thus, many of the repos are only there to participate in the parallel
integration (core-main, jet-main, web-main, etc.) We don't believe it is a
requirement to migrate all of those repos, probably we won't even need
them, when we analyze the infrastructure migration in detail during
incubation. However, the #1 requirement is for Apache NetBeans to be able
to produce daily/release builds and to upload them to netbeans.org or
another download area under Apache. We believe
http://hg.netbeans.org/releases/ should be enough for that.

Thanks,

Geertjan
