Newb compile question.. 

I did a git clone to a local directory emc-dev as per the example in the 
online manual.

So now I have clone of the online repository on my PC.  I do an "sudo 
apt-get remove emc2" to remove my existing live CD install of Hardy 
Heron EMC2.  

I run the compile as per the online instructions via:

http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Installing_EMC2#On_Ubuntu_with_EMC2_package_already_installed
Following 2.1.2

And end up with EMC2 compiled code in the emc-dev directory.   This 
doesn't seem quite right since that is also the local repository.   I 
can run the software no problem - by changing the desktop shortcut to 
point to the new emc starting script location and it loads the profile 
that I configured before.   But what it I want to compile a different 
branch of the repository that is now on my pc.  If I recompile the way I 
am currently setup I will overwrite the files I just compiled.  How can 
I set this up so I can have multiple versions of EMC2 on my pc at the 
same time - like the master, and a branch that I am testing etc.  I 
thought I could do a git pull from my local repository to another 
directory and then compile there but that didn't seem to work. 

Perhaps I didn't do the pull correctly from my local git repository?  Or 
I am missing something?

Thanks,

Dave
