Thanks for the work. Having done CVS -> svn myself, I really appreciate this.

I have some questions concerning the Boost.Build conversion.

The repository at

https://github.com/boostorg/build

contains a "buildv2" directory containing the Boost.Build .jam files and 
"jamsrc" directory containing the c sources.

The original idee from Volodya was to completely remove the "v2" subdirectory 
and put everything current in "tools/build/v2/" in the toplevel directory. I 
would expect the contents of "tools/build/v2/" in the toplevel directory, 
especially the c sources in their new location "engine". 

I have scanned the conversion rules but can not find the relocation 
information. Can you please take a look at this as this seems gone wrong 
somehow?

The other idea would be to keep the "v2" directory for now and move everything 
thing up vai git after the conversion.

Yours,

Jürgen
