How do people work in multiple branches at the same time? [message #105671]

On my current project, we have 2 branches. The HEAD and a release branch.
Sometimes I have to do work in the HEAD and different work in the R1
branch. The only way I have been able to come up with working like this in
Eclipse is the checkout the HEAD as a project, and checkout R1 as a project
with a different name. This gives me two folders (foo and foo-R1) in my
workspace. Is this the best way? Is this how other people work?

Thanks

That's the way I've always done it. If I'm not going to work on one of
the branches for a while I usually do a Close Project on it so that my
views aren't cluttered up.
