That's IMHO not only unnecessary but also incomplete. When doing git
checkout in core only you'll miss the corresponding submodule checkouts,
i.e. dictionaries, translations and helpcontent2. You may not need them
if you didn't configure so, but just make using ./g a habit when
switching branches or for pulls. ./g takes care of submodules, it
applies the git command you specify also to the submodules. Note also
that you should not use git pull but git pull -r (for rebase) instead to
not introduce merge commits.

I think that's mentioned several times in the build instructions in the
wiki, but maybe not everywhere where needed.. note it is ./g and not
only g, because it is a script in the source root directory.

However, to switch branches to build (e.g. the 5-0 branch) it usually is
sufficient to

./g checkout libreoffice-5-0
make clean
make

You can of course also issue a git clean before to get rid of sporadic
untracked files.
