Isn't that what git submodule update does if you give it a path to the
submodule? Assuming the super-project is on branch master, of course. So
for Boost.Timer, do:

cd modular-boost    # if needed
git checkout master   # if needed
git submodule update libs/timer

Or did I misunderstand your question?
