While I don't necessarily object to the hack you propose here, it seems to me that really we need to caution people more strongly about not just cavalierly checking out a different branch in the same build directory without fully cleaning up built files (that is, "git clean -dfx" or the like). There are other gotchas that that creates, and I don't want to establish a precedent that it's our job to work around them. regards, tom lane
