I am seeing at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/StartModDev that the modular Boost directory structure is:

Is this the latest correct information ?
looks about right too me, Dave will know for sure.
BTW I have not been able to figure out how to add and move directories using git in a local copy. Instead I have just done so using the OS and git seems to figure it out but I have a feeling I have lost git history in doing so.
As far as I know it does not mater much if you are using OS tools to move or rename files or you are using "git mv" command. Git will discover and track the change the same way - either way. Git does not really track the file rename by creating a record of any sort when you use "git mv", however it discover and trace file similarity between your commits, Later its history inspecting tools traces the fact that a file disappeared in a commit and an identical or similar file appeared in that same commit. The history tools will view this as a move. Sometimes I get paranoid that this may not be working perfectly, So it happens I do restructuring with file moves in separate commits pushed to the main repository without doing any file modifications in the same commit - just to help git to simpler trace the move later and follow file history across the moves. But that is probably just me being more careful than needed. HTH -- Bjørn
