Excuse my ignorance but: does this mean syncing between the master project and submodules need be done manually? I was assuming that somehow updates to a submodule automatically propagate to checkouts of the master project.

Currently it needs to be done manually. Eventually it should be scripted, hopefully from a git hook so that it's pretty fast. There's some dispute about how the changes should be propagated to the main module.

IMO boostorg/boost's master branch shouldn't get updated to a state X until X passes regression testing. -Dave
