 As part of the process of moving to modularized Boost, the single Subversion repository at https://svn.boost.org/svn will be converted to multiple public Git repositories hosted at [https://github.com GitHub]:
 
- * The public [https://github.com/boost-lib/boost Super-project for modularized Boost] repository, with **no history**. 
- * A public [https://github.com/boost-lib repository for each Boost library], with **no history**. Each individual Boost library is treated as a separate sub-module by the Boost super-project. The URL for each library's repository is formed by appending the library name to !https://github.com/boost-lib/. For example, https://github.com/boost-lib/algorithm.

 The directory structure of each individual Boost library will be the same as the library's current directory structure under boost-root/libs, except that it will also include a new sub-directory tree {{{include/boost/}}} containing the library's header files.
 
-Each individual Boost library's public repository will contain a single branch, "master", that corresponds to {{{branches/release}}} in Subversion.
+At conversion, each individual Boost library's public repository will contain a single branch, "master", that corresponds to {{{branches/release}}} in Subversion. The library maintainer will need to add a {{{develop}}} branch, and possibly other branches, as describe in [StartModWorkflow Getting Started with Modular Boost Library Development Workflow].
