$ pwd

$ hg pull http://www.octave.org/hg/octave
$ hg pull http://hg.tw-math.de/release-3-0-x
$ hg branches

Now both histories are in the same mercurial database.  This has  
turned out useful in my projects where I use git, but none of them  
are as large as octave.  We'll see what happens.

I can help out with maintaining the web pages.  There was some recent  
discussion about merging the octave.org and octave.sourceforge.com  
web pages.
