I've taken to using seperate Chrome users to split personal / work, which might be a useful workaround.

You can use multifox for the same purpose if you use Mozilla.
As it is now, if I'm on my personal account and go to open up a private work repo, it takes SIX navigation events:
1. Trying to hit the repo the first time
2. Clicking the logo to go to the main page
3. Logging out
4. Clicking the login button to go to the login page
5. Logging in
6. Going back to the repo I wanted to see in the first place
I'd like to see a Google-style account switcher, where I just click a menu in the upper right, choose the account, and it reloads the page under that account. A simple thing that would make the site much more usable to those of us with multiple accounts (which I expect is quite a few people).
