The effect is to export the SVN trunk, then replace libs/filesystem with a git clone of the public repository. boost/filesystem is replaced with a symlink to libs\filesystem\include\boost\filesystem
Note that the final two mklink steps are _not_ performable as a standard user, they require administrative privileges.
The only kind of link I seem to be able to create as a standard test user on my machine is a file hardlink.
Keep this in mind for Ryppl and whatever processes that might be proposed for Boost adoption, as anything that requires admin privileges will be completely unfeasible for many users of the library, and quite possibly for library contributors as well.
I forgot to mention, what will happen if you're on a filesystem not NTFS, like a network drive, a thumbstick or a NFS mount, or on a Windows not Vista+? -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
