If you're only changing one module at a time, forking the super project is
probably more trouble than it's worth. But if you need to, I think it would
be easier to keep the boostorg repo as the 'origin' remote so that the
relative urls will continue to work, and add your fork's remote with a
different name. I'd do something like:

git clone --recursive git_at_[hidden]:boostorg/boost.git
git remote add danieljames git_at_[hidden]:danieljames/boost.git
git push --set-upstream danieljames master
