No very specific advice to give but this is what I do and then pull all (compilable) topic branches into a "local" branch for complation. Just wanted to remark that a definite downside is that switching branches a lot also touches the tree a lot and hence tends to trigger quite unwelcome amounts of recompiles. Using ccache would proably be effective in this situation but I keep neglecting to check it out...
