The following should get you what your asking for, if I understand you correctly:

git clone --recursive -b develop https://github.com/boostorg/boost

git submodule foreach git checkout develop

Most developers won't do this, they'll be using the master branch of the super project, and only checking out develop for the modules they're concerned with.

And then any incompatibilities are discovered a week before release, I suppose?

Well, you should only be making bug fixes a week before release, and changes for an upcoming release shouldn't be made in the develop branch. The idea is to use the git flow process to manage changes.
