One of the most annoying issues with git (which is actually a side-product of the fact that it's very easy to create/administer branches), is that switching branches will cause a lot of recompiles.
ccache helps some, but the real life-saver here is a script which doesn't come bundled with your installed git, but which you'll have to download the source code to get: git-new-workdir. It clones your repository to a different directory, with some symlink magic so that everything is shared except the index. It's the git equivalent a checkout of a svn repository to different directories, except that anything you do in any of the directories is available in all directories.
