Hello,

Someone reported a discrepancy in boost trac that needs to be investigated by folks on the superproject team. What is claimed is that the superproject tag for boost-1.55 contains commit id 8c395a888c2d77bdc91e956ef24a07c0c87cdd24 for uuid, however this commit id does not exist. The tag id in the boost/uuid repository points to commit 98cf8322aef86e6398dbac7f9cd6bf766621d645.

It looks like someone changed the tag at some point. Luckily, I still have the old tag in my fork: https://github.com/danieljames/uuid/tree/boost-1.55.0 So you can do something like: git fetch https://github.com/danieljames/uuid.git boost-1.55.0 git tag old-boost-1.55.0 8c395a888c2d77bdc91e956ef24a07c0c87cdd24 git push origin old-boost-1.55.0 I think that will work. For what it's worth 1.55.0 was the last subversion release. It might be a bit odd in git - the headers mechanism isn't set up, and there are a few line ending problems at least. So a subversion checkout might be more useful: https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/tags/release/Boost_1_55_0/
