I would advocate renaming the version on your branches (using the versions plugin, or created with release:branch, for example), if they are not actually the same development version of things. However, an option to force installation would be a helpful thing to add. was (Author: brettporter): Even if this is reverted, the above will run into problems if you don't do a complete rebuild every time you switch branches.
