.... The plan was to sync the repos when we built the stabilisation area, but clearly this is something we need to revisit. Right, but it just seems wrong to have the main jdk7u-dev repository unbuildable for so long. Developers cannot build or test. It makes development here more difficult than it needs to be. Also, I wonder if it would make sense to have some type of auto push from the jdk7u-dev-stabilization branch to the main jdk7u-dev repository?

This seems to be a bit backwards to me. If hardly anyone notices that the forest doesn't build, it suggests that nobody is used it for development. Perhaps it would be possible to work with a single forest and freeze it periodically when it's being stabilized for a release?
