[conversion] Progress Report

We are very close to being able to go live with boostorg at GitHub. * Following the instructions at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost, the "master" branch seems ready to go. * A couple of libraries on the "develop" branch may still have end-of-line issues. If so, those should be resolved first thing in the morning. So please be patient one more day, and then we should be able to get to work using git and modular boost. --Beman

Yes. Follow the instructions at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost If you have already done "git clone --recursive git@github.com:boostorg/boost.git modular-boost" then you can try: cd modular-boost git pull git submodule update git status git status should report: # On branch master nothing to commit, working directory clean --Beman

This fails for me with: Submodule path 'libs/interprocess': checked out 'befc284064603b2ffc985b29e17a99c4664c21bf' error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout: proj/vc7ide/avl_multiset/avl_multiset.vcproj proj/vc7ide/avl_set/avl_set.vcproj proj/vc7ide/sg_multiset/sg_multiset.vcproj proj/vc7ide/sg_set/sg_set.vcproj proj/vc7ide/splay_multiset/splay_multiset.vcproj proj/vc7ide/splay_set/splay_set.vcproj Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches. Aborting When I cd to libs/interprocess and do git status, I see this: # HEAD detached at ad3603e # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: proj/vc7ide/avl_multiset/avl_multiset.vcproj # modified: proj/vc7ide/avl_set/avl_set.vcproj # modified: proj/vc7ide/sg_multiset/sg_multiset.vcproj # modified: proj/vc7ide/sg_set/sg_set.vcproj # modified: proj/vc7ide/splay_multiset/splay_multiset.vcproj # modified: proj/vc7ide/splay_set/splay_set.vcproj If I do a git reset --hard to try to discard these changes (which I didn't make), nothing happens. The files still show up as modified. So I can't make git submodule update succeed no matter what I try. I'm stuck. Suggestions? Eric

This should be fixed in the latest version, so the easiest solution is a fresh clone. But I found that if you delete the problematic files, then you can update the repo to the latest version and restore the files afterwards.

FYI, I believe the correct way to eliminate untracked changes is to use "git clean." The command "git reset" pertains to things committed locally.
