do you have a plan for how the top level scripts can work in both the svn and the git environments prior to transition if you change tools/build/v2 to tools/build?
Even with my limited bash-fu, that is perfectly doable.
Which one do you prefer?
Nevertheless +1 for "tools/build" from my side if this works smoothly.
I propose to keep tools/build/v2 until all work is transitioned to git. Then moving content of tools/build/v2 to tools/build is simple within build submodule repository and the corresponding boost meta repository can have modified top level scripts.
To be honest, I don't trust git move (or lack thereof)
Well, there's nothing really we can do about that lack of trust. It's a simple matter to move files in Git.
and not really looking forward to spending an evening with company of 'git filter-branch'.
Why do you want to revise history?
If an infrastructure for svn to git conversion is already developed, why not create the layout that is right?
