Sure, if you want to keep the build tree around, you would probably not 
use branches. 

Side note: it's often faster to recompile, if your project has a good 
build system.

For example, for the kernel, I can literally rebuild my whole kernel 
(which is just what I use on _that_ machine) in about 16 seconds. This is 
_not_ using ccache or anything else - it's rebuilding the whole tree with 
-j16.

Is it after make mrproper (wow)? Or is it when your branches are
"recent"? Because for me (and well, I dont have that beefy boxes as you
do) swithing between "for-linus" and "next" that based off a revision in
vicinity of 2.6.xx-rc1 and "work" which tracks the tip of your tree
takes time to rebuild.
