Version control is used for software development for a good reason. Not do I find it acceptable to impose history conversion task on every individual developer.
Fortunately,*that* was never in the plan. I hope the above makes that clear. If Rene suggests to convert Boost.Build's history manually, I don't see a reason to interfere.
I would much rather such conversion is done by whomever is pushing for git conversion, rather that putting this on Rene's plate.
I agree. If there's consensus for synthesizing a "modularized past," we'll do it for everyone. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing Software Development Training http://www.boostpro.com Clang/LLVM/EDG Compilers C++ Boost
