Please report any problems to me to the main Boost list, and we will try to resolve them as quickly as possible.
I just checked out the svn repository, and I noticed that every file I ever deleted from the cvs repository is back. For instance, the entire directory "boost/xpressive/detail/static/productions" is old dead code I deleted eons ago, and now it lives again. This is a major problem, if it's happening to other people, too.
I'm guessing this is related to http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/faq.html#atticprob and is caused by corruption in the SourceForge CVS repository that had some files in both a CVS directory and in the Attic. I don't know how this corruption occurred, but the safest route (from the perspective of preserving history) is to keep both copies of the files. That may be what happened here. I wonder what other files are affected... I'll be happy to clean this up if we can figure out how to identify these files. - Doug
