Since the organization of boost.test is biased by the runners, our develop branch will become a kind of release branch (like master for other less coupled modules). Our internal develop branch (not called develop but something else) will accept force pushes, but this is fine since it is not meant to be checked out by anyone but boost.test developers.
There's one problem with this approach, if you intend to accept patches or pull requests. What branch are they supposed to be against? So far the general rule was to create PRs against develop. Others have mentioned problems with forks in case when history is rewritten, so maybe PRs will become unusable.
The patch can be rebased manually before being commited. This is what they do in eg. CMake and it is working quite well.
