Here is my experience with the 1.32 branch:
1. 1.32 went gold - I download the tagged version and built it with the "install" option. This resulted in an include folder of "C:\Boost\include\boost-1_32" with corresponding lib files.
2. For the next couple of months I get the HEAD - when I build it, it also goes into "C:\Boost\include\boost-1_32" with corresponding lib names.
Now I am capable of maintain separate folders, but it is very easy to get fooled about which version I am actually using.
Now after the 1_33 release, if you instantly upped it to 1_33_1 (even if it never went gold) I would know that the largest version is always the HEAD.
Thoughts?
Yes, I know what you mean now. I think that's a good idea. Doug
