Following the discussion with regards to the release process, I've managed to setup a git-svn mirror of the boost SVN repository for trunk and all its branches. It is updated hourly from the svn repository. The gitweb interface is available at http://git.jsharpe.net. To clone the repository run: git clone http://git.jsharpe.net/boost.git (Note this may take a little while - the whole history is currently 421M) To be able to commit back to the boost repository you need to run: git svn init --stdlayout --prefix svn/ --rewrite-root https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost git svn fetch The git svn fetch command will rebuild the svn metadata and also update your working copy from svn(again takes quite a while as the boost repository has a lot of history!). Then to commit back to the boost repository you simply run git svn dcommit. James
