The manual is technically correct but can easily be misinterpreted. The problem is that switching branches often *does* modify packages.

In some cases (a package upgrade which isn't tied closely to the Sage library), you can get away with "./sage -b" and not building the new package, but for some package changes, you really need to run "make".

My workflow is:
1. checkout the relevant branch that I want to work on
2. run "make"
3. make edits (this can be done in parallel with 2)
4. run "./sage -br"
5. goto 3
