That's what I do, too. This puts everything (back) into a detached head, so 
if I want to do work on, for example, smart_ptr, I have to then manually 
switch it to "devel" again:

cd libs/smart_ptr
git checkout devel

but it's not that much of a bother, and the whole procedure can in principle 
be automated with a script.
