Dear list,

I fixed an issue in Boost.Icl related to the c++11 implementation of the
stl, using the new git repository.

When looking for improvements on the regression test matrix at
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/summary.html
or
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/release/developer/summary.html

I found that the regression tests seem to be still based on the svn
repository and I could not see any improvements from my bug fix.
The tested files are taken from e.g.

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/icl/test/ex_boost_party_/ex_boost_party.cpp
and
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/release/libs/icl/test/ex_boost_party_/ex_boost_party.cpp

For me as maintainer the regression tests are a major and very useful tool
to check my code changes on the various compilers. So I have these
questions:

Are the regression test not yet integrated in the modular-boost git
workflow?

Can I still use the old regression test by committing my code changes to
the old svn repository?

Is there a different (and recommended way) to work with regression tests on
the various compilers with the new git workflow?

Best regards,
Joachim
