How about this? If $GITBRANCH was available when defining TMPDIR it would be just perfectly possible to define it as TMPDIR = "${OEHOME}/tmp/${DISTRO}/${GITBRANCH}" and not have any issues. For those who want to share stuff and know what they are doing, it would be possible to leave out DISTRO and GITBRANCH fi they want to. The issue that I see is that although it may have been technically possible to switch branches in the same directory with mtn, I would consider that a very advanced technique (I consider myself rather well-versed in mtn and didn't even know it was possible). Whereas, this is kind of the norm with git. The easy switching is one of the reasons we decided to go forward with git. Just like Mike said, I think we are going to see a lot of wasted time for everyone and I think now is a good time to proactively prevent that.
