Hi,
If you know the git-new-workdir based workflow you can stop reading.

Otherwise it's good to repeat this advice.

>From http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Building#Working_with_multiple_versions:

"You will often want to have more than one build environment in
parallel, for example if you want to work on both stable and unstable
branches at the same time or several feature branches. "

So the usage for today is based on git-new-workdir <repository>
<new_workdir> [<branch>]:

$ cd ~/src/dev/
$ git-new-workdir calligra calligra-2.6 calligra/2.6
Checking out files: 100% (18072/18072), done.
Branch calligra/2.6 set up to track remote branch calligra/2.6 from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'calligra/2.6'

Voila, I have 'separately cloned' calligra/2.6 branch in calligra-2.6
subdir within a few seconds, based on calligra/ clone (master) and
saved most of the ~300MB of disk space.

Hope this helps someone.
