Yes. It will requires no change. Basically everyone on the list of
developers gets commit access to all octave forge repositories which
at the moment is 1 subversion and 3 mercurial repositories. I will

create individual mercurial repos. They will be listed at
http://sourceforge.net/p/octave/_list/hg
