* As a demonstration and proof-of-concept, a Boost library should begin using Git. Presumably a public repository (on GitHub?) can channel changes back to Boost svn. I'll volunteer the filesystem library.
I've made a copy of the fully migrated Boost repository available online for review here: https://github.com/boost-lib/boost-history In the course of creating the migration process, I had to fix several bugs in libgit2. This makes me less than 100% convinced of the fidelity of the result so far. I'd like anyone who can to review the sections familiar to them, to make sure nothing obvious has gone wrong. A couple things to note in this repository: - Any branch which was not committed to since 2008 has been migrated as a tag with the prefix "old-branches/". - There is a 'flat-history' tag, which preserves the literal revision history as it appeared in Subversion, with no splitting up into branches or tags. This is for completeness, but can be ignored otherwise. John
