I see. But if you are pursuing editing of both versions, then you have probably two different dev branches that you are switching between anyway. And, as I mentioned, the switch-and-install of a BibClassify branch takes 0.3 sec for me. So since it is so fast to switch, maybe you don't really need to edit them in full parallel? Maybe switching will do? > my brain loses track of which version I am at right now Your editor can surely show you which branch you are in. E.g. Emacs displays this information in the status bar. Also, your shell can show you the branch, and whether you have some uncommitted files, etc. Personally I'm using git-prompt: <http://volnitsky.com/project/git-prompt/> > it is ugly to it, re-install the whole invenio in order to test one > module feels so bad, that I have to run away Note that in my example I was all the time in `modules/bibclassify/lib' directory; so I was re-installing only the BibClassify module, not the whole Invenio.
