Do you really often compile and run other branch while developing on
other?

Yes.  And I do the same with older revisions along a given branch too,
where is where [lightweight] checkouts come in handy.

Well, if you don't _work_ on other branch, you can alwaych checkout
the other branch or any given revision from a separate directory
using
  git --git-dir=<path to repo> tar-tree <revision> | tar xf -
for example.
