Hi, to be honest, I am unsure whether SVN fits the boost development model any better than CVS does, and propose to look at using git/cogito instead. Boost mainly consists of a set of "subsystems", which each have their respective maintainers, and only a few "glue" files that are mainly touched by the release managers. IMO, it would make sense to express this in the repository structure by having each subsystem maintained in a separate branch, and the "master" repository updated from these branches when they are fit for inclusion (similar to the Linux development model). Besides that, git has the IMO very valuable separation between commits and pushes, that is, you can commit single changes offline and only synchronize to the next upstream repository when there is a network connection, which may be of great help for some developers.
