I just tested this with the current boostorg repos. Worked first try. The
actual command I used was:

git config --global url."git_at_[hidden]:boostorg/".insteadOf "
https://github.com/boostorg/"

since the conversion is now using https.

To test, I switched boost.system to develop, made a change to a file, then
committed and pushed, both via TortoiseGit. Verified via
https://github.com/boostorg/system that the push is visible.

Thanks,
