In case this reaches any other git enthusiasts, I've rigged up a git clone that is automatically tracking boost svn, here:

Click around on it... it's smoking fast, despite the fact that it is running on hardware I found in the trash on the end of a mediocre uplink. There is a little howto here:
This presently has a link to http://sodium.resophonic.com/boost-git.html and that one gives 404. <sarcasm> While I do use git myself, I still cannot comprehend how 'git clone' can work for half-an-hour and that produce something where 'git log' throws fits about something called HEAD not existing. </sarcasm> And now a couple of real questions: 1. Is there any way to simulate branches of subdirectories in git? Like, switching tools/build/v2 to a branch without affecting anything else? In SVN, we have a branch at: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/build/python_port/ which is branched from trunk/tools/build/v2. Now, in git the branch is called 'build', and it contains 'python_port' subdirectory, and that contains entire Boost. It would be mightly inconvenient it switching between trunk and python port branch will change locations of everything. 2. Is this meant as read-only medium, or you envision this becoming preferred place for on-the-side experimentation, such as branches and sandbox? - Volodya
