If a bunch of active libraries were to switch to this process well
before Boost converted to Git, it would help ensure a smooth
transition.

But I glossed over feeding diffs back into the current SVN trunk. I
need to smooth that out, probably by writing a little script. git-svn
isn't useful because the Git repo has a different directory structure
than the SVN repo.
