This is a "legacy" behavior which may or may not be desireable now. 
Boost.Geometry has a lot of tests, more than the majority of other Boost 
libraries. CircleCI 1.0 didn't have workspaces and we was able to run 
tests only with fixed threads. So in order not to flood CircleCI with 
our tests and give other libraries a chance I set up the CI so not all 
of the tests were run and they were only tested after a push to develop 
or master branch. Then after the introduction of CircleCI 2.0 I decided 
to keep this behavior for the same reason but added a minimal test for 
other branches. This may be changed for course. Though have in mind that 
it will take longer to test GIL and to do whatever else is done at 
CircleCI for GitHub/boostorg.
