The following should get you what your asking for, if I understand you
correctly:
git clone --recursive -b develop https://github.com/boostorg/boost
git submodule foreach git checkout develop
Most developers won't do this, they'll be using the master branch of
the super project, and only checking out develop for the modules
they're concerned with.
Although our testing system won't be doing that at first, and probably
not for some time. Which is a problem.
As long as the testing is done against develop or master branch of
*all* modules I don't see why individual developers should be doing
that.
Maybe you should try looking at older threads where this was discussed.
I remember the discussions but still stand by my words. There's no
point in testing locally something that will possibly break in the
official test system.
