For this package-building exercise all the relevant stuff is at

   http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/release

since the release branch is open, my git is synced up with svn.

We're working on branches/release, so hack that, if anything.
Again, for this you don't need to git anything from me.

My patches against 1.39 are not in svn.  If we do a 1.39.1 release you 
won't need to 'git' them.  The diffs are on the webserver,  look here:

http://sodium.resophonic.com/git/boost_patches/?h=cmake-patches%2FBoost_1_39_0

And you'll see the four commits, which you can apply to your unpacked 
distribution.  There are also tarball/zipfile download links in there.

I've been keeping git notes, I'll see about putting up some more 
detailed 'how to git boost' docs.  Apologies that this has been 
unproductive so far.
