A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When cloning the mercurial repository to try and build OpenJDK 1.8 u51 b16, it's impossible using the proscribed methods to obtain the source for just this release because of a bug in common/bin/hgforest.sh. Specifically, it fails to pass the command arguments to the clone command when checking out the other repositories required for building.

I.e., if you run:
hg clone -r jdk8u51-b16 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u60/
./get_source.sh -r jdk8u51-b16

What you end up with is *up to date source* rather than source left at the tag specified. This is trivial to fix by patching hgforest.sh as follows:

I.e., add ${command_args} to the initial clone command

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
See steps above

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expect to be able to check out the source at the specified tag/revision
ACTUAL -
I get the source at the most latest revision

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use the following patch:
