If I do this:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:boostorg/boost.git modular-boost cd modular-boost/libs/math git checkout develop

What commit of math develop branch should be checked out?

Won't it fail because there isn't a local develop branch?

No, works fine. For example, D:\modular-boost\libs\math>cd ../system D:\modular-boost\libs\system>git checkout develop Previous HEAD position was 067ff61... Merge from trunk. Switched to branch 'develop' D:\modular-boost\libs\system>git branch * develop master D:\modular-boost\libs\system>git status # On branch develop nothing to commit, working directory clean The problem I'm having is with math, which doesn't checkout develop head AFAICS. --Beman
