I already did that a few times, and it works fine if you know that you
only need to make the change in a certain directory.
As Oliver pointed out, though, it doesn't really hurt to branch
everything, though. Also, despite having to merge changes more often,
switching is usually easier, unless you really only need to branch a
single directory.
