When it comes time to apply the changes to the Boost repo, I'm applying the diffs locally and then committing. If Boost were using Git, I'd send a "pull" request.
So far this whole experiment has been very reassuring. No problems and everything worked instantly. There was almost no learning curve, since I'd already been using Git and GitHub for awhile.
Sure, as long as you deal with the git repository only, everything is fine. The problems start when you want to integrate your changes back into the Boost SVN repo, which is usually a plain PITA.
Agreed, but I'll wrap the diff/patch sequence in a script to make it easy. Remember too that the point is to test Git and a modularized (or unified, or whatever you want to call it) directory structure. So it doesn't really matter that the last step is clunky; that's not what I'm trying to get experience with. --Beman
