It seems to me the best time for the svn to modular git changeover is right after a Boost release. That will give us the maximum time window to get the new house in order before the subsequent release. So should we convert right after 1.55 ships? I'm well aware that there is a long list of conversion related tasks that we haven't completed. But the svn -> git conversion process itself is so complex that only Dave and Daniel can make modifications. They have done a staggering amount of work already and are nearing exhaustion. Once the conversion is done, there are many of us that understand git well enough to help with problems. For example, https://github.com/ryppl/Boost2Git/issues/5, "Mimic gitfow", is a showstopper in that what is now "master" should be "develop" and the true "master" (i.e. releases) branch needs to be synthesized. But while it would be great if the Boost2Git process could handle that, it could probably also be do by a post-conversion step performed by git and other command line tools that many of us could help with. Messy, but I'm not willing to take a further delay waiting for perfection. Which of the issues in https://github.com/ryppl/Boost2Git/issues?state=openare true show stoppers? Are there any true showstoppers missing from that list? --Beman
