I didn't fast-forward history, if by that you mean "git merge develop" - I 
moved the file via git log / git am in both branches per

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/NewLibByRefactor

Most of the history of this file is from the SVN and the transition doesn't 
preserve any merge points, so the two branches appear completely separate, 
even though the commits turn out to be actually identical in this case.

Done. I had to cherry-pick the latest develop commit first though, to avoid 
the conflict.
