 If the Boost Subversion repository was being converted to a single Subversion repository, the history would just be converted along with everything else. But instead, Boost is being modularized into 120 or so separate repositories. If all history were just blindly included for each library, 233 megs of history would be multiplied by 120 libraries, resulting in a file size of 28 gigs. If you are doing release management or testing, that isn't really acceptable.
 
-Discussion is underway of providing a script to graft on individual library history from the overall history.
+We will provide a Git translation of the monolithic SVN history along with instructions for using the [http://git-scm.com/2010/03/17/replace.html git-replace] command to link it into a modularized repository.
