I do this all the time with KDE, Qt and commercial projects I work on. This is 
not a special workflow at all, quite the contrary - it's the norm!

I have a work branch with everything I need, and then separate branches that I 
use to send patches up for review. With ccache and icecream I don't waste time 
rebuilding after switching branches either.
