what directory should one build in?

I've been using the instructions at:

  http://oe.handhels.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/GettingStarted

as I try to learn to build openzaurus.

The instructions refer to '/stuff/', which in my case is
/home/hartzell/openembedded.

In that directory I have my OE.db and an org.openembedded.oz354x
directory.  I update both as described on the wiki page.

I do my builds from /home/hartzell/openzaurus (aka "/stuff/"), which
creates a /home/hartzell/openzaurus/tmp directory full of build
related stuff.

I'd like to explore other branches/revisions, but I'm afraid that
they'll all try to write into /home/hartzell/openembedded/tmp and it
will get confused.

What's the proper way to develop with multiple branches?

In a related question, the wiki GettingStarted page suggests the
following command to update a repository's local database:

 monotone --db=/stuff/OE.db pull monotone.vanille.de org.openembedded.dev

If I'm tracking org.openembedded.oz354x, should I use

 monotone --db=/stuff/OE.db pull monotone.vanille.de org.openembedded.oz354x

and if I want to track both org.openembedded.{dev,oz354x} should I use

 monotone --db=/stuff/OE.db pull monotone.vanille.de 'org.openembedded.*'

or???

Does the example in the wiki page do the right thing?  In particular,
do the local database pickup up the org.openembedded.dreambox updates

Thanks!
