There do seem to be git tags corresponding to releases:

$git fetch --tags
...
$ git tag | tail
boost-1.49.0
boost-1.49.0-beta1
boost-1.50.0
boost-1.50.0-beta1
boost-1.51.0
boost-1.52.0
boost-1.53.0
boost-1.54.0
boost-1.54.0-beta1
boost-1.55.0

Remote tags aren't fetched by default, so you might need to run "git
fetch --tags" to be able to refer to them.
