Boost developers and release managers, OTOH, don't ever do project wide merges. Instead, everything happens on a library by library basis. I would expect merging a single library would be easier if its header files lived entirely within the library's boost-root/libs/libname tree.
Having libraries organized with nearby headers may be a better organization scheme and make some operations easier: agreed, we'll try it out. I'll maintain that whether or not to put these perhaps-better-organized directories on the ends of svn:externals is a different issue with long term consequences.
Right now boost developers and release managers do single project switches; (modulo those who go to the trouble of using svnmerge.)
Didn't svnmerge become obsolete when Subversion added merge tracking?
I don't think the server was upgraded.
It was. I'm using merge tracking in my own branch. Sebastian
