To move discussion of Git beyond the arm waving stage, I'd like to suggest several concrete steps:
* Use the tag "[git]" to identify list postings discussing integration of Git into Boost daily life. If that gets unwieldy, we can start a separate mailing list.
* Start building documentation, with a lot of the initial effort going into rationale and "how to do it". To that end, I've started to populate a "Git" hierarchy on the Trac wiki: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/Git/GitHome. Please contribute!
* 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.
Forgive me for being a bit slow here, but isn't 'moving beyond the arm waving stage' exactly what the Ryppl effort is doing? Is there a danger of treading on Ryppl's toes here?
