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.
