OK then, a modularised boost is an expensive precondition for moving to git.
It isn't a precondition for moving to Git. We can move to Git and then do the modularization step; it's not a problem. However, it does mean two transitions.
Which can be a good thing. Breaking a process down into smaller stages can make it easier. It seems to me that we've discussed git several times, and it's always part of a grand scheme. If git is considered desirable enough, then it might be best to just switch to it, keeping everything else the same.
And the process of making that possible is already underway: https://github.com/ryppl/boost-svn Actually, I think the switch is mostly just awaiting a decision from Beman and any necessary associated discussion here on this list. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
