Google Fonts Repo Wiki
The previous fonts Mercurial repository had a wiki at https://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/wiki which is no longer available. The contents of the wiki are now available here:

Duplicated fonts
There are some similarly named pairs of directories which each have identically named font files. These files are redundant, and exist following the renaming of a family. The initial directories are kept so that people already using that initial name can continue to do so. They are no longer listed in the main www.google.com/fonts directory, but the files exist in this repo since they are still served via the Google Fonts API.
