git affects the developer workflow, but that thread was about creating 
modular releases and downloads, which is a different goal and has a 
different set of problems to solve. That's what that thread was about. I 
didn't see any desire to have that as a goal in the thread.

Git doesn't affect users. 

Before and after transition to git, they download all-of-boost.zip from the 
boost website.

Thanks,
