Thanks for your response too. I agree what you want would be nice, but what you want seems to be non-goals for boost.
That's why I would like to hear from others why boost migrated to git. What goals or purpose did that serve? Did it only serve some goals for the developer perspective (ie, not any goals for the users of boost)?
Thanks,
Steve.
Thanks Steve, I agree that possible future goals is a different discussion from historical objectives. I think historically the purpose was purely for modular developers: I remember that Julian Gonggrijp referred to discussions with you http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/251366/match=git and suggested : "In order to use Boost in a truly modular way, a developer would rather just clone only the libraries she needs (including dependencies)."
