That's what I'd gathered, and frankly it is not an acceptable answer.
Sure, the "checkout" operation is remarkably fast, but it does nothing
for derived files. What would really be involved here (if I wanted to
be sure of having a non-broken build) is
make maintainer-clean
git checkout rel8_3
configure
make
which takes long enough that I'll have plenty of time to consider
how much I hate git. If there isn't a better way proposed, I'm
going to flip back to voting against this conversion. I need tools
that work for me not against me.
Well, you can have as many clones of a repository as you like. You can
keep one with master checked out, another with rel8_3, another with
rel8_2, etc. You'd just have to write a script to keep them in sync
(shouldn't be too difficult, each just as all the others as an origin
-- or maybe you have one that's canonical on your system).
Best,
David
