No, it is a different thing.  Say you are editing several similar source
trees, for example, Emacs HEAD, Emacs BASE_22, Emacs Unicode-2.  I wan't
different TAGS for them, different saved dekstop files, different compile
commands.  Things like speedbar are also faster in several instances instead
of moving around between trees.  Plus if there are similar files, remembering
which was xterm.c, xterm.c<2> and xterm.c<3> takes some effort.

In my day to day job (which isn't Emacs BTW :-) I usually work on 2-4 similar
branches.
