What is Boost.Sync and why doesn't its repository have a master branch?
That library is a split of Boost.Thread that only contains synchronization primitives. It's in an early development stage and not yet released, that's why it has no master.
If it is an "early development stage", why is it in boostorg at all? Seems like it should be in the developer's own GitHub account.
it was in trunk, but not in release. therefore it has a develop branch, but no master. compare [1]. the functionality is not exactly new, but broken out of boost.thread with some additions. tim [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/243511
