I think there is already a non-modularized version of Boost on git somewhere. What else needs to be done?
Mathias, I'm currently working on a conversion to Git that faithfully preserves *all* past history. The current boost-svn.git mirror out there on the Net does not do this, and so is not sufficient for us to move to in my opinion.
I'll post here when I get closer; I'm about 95% complete with the process, which directly rewrites Subversion dump files into their corresponding Git objects, paying especial care that no change is lost from any revision's set of transactions.
Aren't there tools that already do this automatic conversion?
Yes. The best known tools are being used by the boost-svn.git mirror. John's doing better than that. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
