If you change the branch, the mixxx binary in the root folder remains the old one.
even if you rebuild, it will not change because scons puts:
scons: `.' is up to date.
scons: done building targets.

This issue might result in bad test results when trying to compare different behaviour of Mixxx branch builds.

This has bitten me a few times. What should we do? Rename the binary? Delete it? Virtualize it (by keeping it in cache/branchname)?

Virtualize it seems the best solution. Fortunately a copy of the binary is already already in cache, so we can just copy it over again.
