IIUC, we want the submodules in http://github.com/boostorg/boost to keep pointing at repositories under http://github.com/boostorg/. However, it should be easy to push new history to that repository.
Sure. Maybe odeint and predef should have different names (maybe odeint-svn?), to indicate that they're not the final repo. Or do you want to have the disjoint histories in a single repo?
Yes; there's nothing at all wrong with that, and IMO it would be better to have the actual history in there. Given the way the conversion works, they might even turn out not to be totally disjoint. -- Dave Abrahams
