Will this also mean that the very many links in docs to Trac #1234 fixed items will still work without any changes?

Please show me an example of such a link.

There are lots of such links in the release notes, e.g. in:

http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_54_0.html

Do a text search for #6999, #8421.

They will work fine as long as we keep trac running. AFAIK there are no plans to turn it off (but maybe should prevent the creation of new tickets?). But if we ever turn it off, I'm sure we'll set something up to maintain the links.

The implicit links in commit logs won't work on github (e.g. trac converts #6999 to a ticket link,

GitHub does too

r83728 to a link to a changeset, I don't think github offers a way to do that),

But not that, as commits are differently-identified. but since every revision

should include a subversion commit number it will be pretty easy to find the changeset on trac where everything will be linked. We could possibly set up our own git viewer to manage that.

Possibly.
