As it stands, the 'branch' appears to be a subset of boost, whereas I would have expected a complete 'fork' (albeit a temporary one).
Yeah, a complete fork is what I would expect, and probably want.
That's OK with me, but SVN copy will have to be not just cheap, but *very* cheap or disk usage will explode.
From 'the SVN book' (http://tinyurl.com/28yoyz):
"The main point here is that copies are cheap, both in time and space. Make branches as often as you want." IIUC, the copy is little more than a symlink (and probably a few table entries). Regards, Darren
