what I mean is that if branch1 has one version of video.c and branch2 
has another version of video.c, then you will need to recompile video.o 
each time you go from one branch to another, which can take some time 
with large .c files.
Having 2 separate repos in 2 different dirs will avoid this in this case 
(although I agree it's less powerful than real branches)
