[boost] git-svn conversion

Following the discussion with regards to the release process, I've
managed to setup a git-svn mirror of the boost SVN repository for
trunk and all its branches. It is updated hourly from the svn
repository. The gitweb interface is available at
http://git.jsharpe.net.

To clone the repository run:

git clone http://git.jsharpe.net/boost.git

(Note this may take a little while - the whole history is currently 421M)

To be able to commit back to the boost repository you need to run:

git svn init --stdlayout --prefix svn/ --rewrite-root
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost
git svn fetch

The git svn fetch command will rebuild the svn metadata and also
update your working copy from svn(again takes quite a while as the
boost repository has a lot of history!). Then to commit back to the
boost repository you simply run git svn dcommit.
