Subject: [boost] [git] How to create a new submodule from existing submodule components?

The release managers with help from Peter Dimov have been developing
super-project workflow documentation.

See https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SuperProjectWorkflow

I've take the liberty of moving this discussion to the main list for wider
input on three questions. Please respond on this thread to the question
asked in the subject line, and comment on the Proposed assert submodule and
Super-project workflow on their threads.
