I find a really easy way is to just create a second user on my system i.e. I have a 'dtgit' user for installing and running the git version. This gives me guaranteed separate databases etc. without having to use my brain.

Please don't do that! In general that might work, but there are no guarantees whatsoever that an old version of darktable can work with a new database format. And there have been a bunch of database related changes recently in master. So if you want to run two versions in parallel you should give them completely unrelated config directories (and probably don't import the same image in both versions). Tobias I didn't know that.
