make dev-install in my work directory libo_20110825/ seems
to have changed the result in work directory libo/ too.

Well, my confusion started after I tried to follow the
instructions "How to Build LibreOffice" > "Multiple Work
Dirs"
<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/How_to_build#Multiple_Work_Dirs>.

The branch argument to git-new-workdir is optional, and I
omitted it.  Maybe I fat-fingered something else.  Or maybe
my expectation was wrong.  Anyway, I was surprised to find
that `git pull` in the new work dir changed the result of
`git branch --verbose` in the previous work directory.

Meanwhile, Regina Henschel has told me a couple of ways I
can make it clear to myself just which soffice I am running.

Thanks,
Terry.
