A few things need to be considered in the design of this feature: * Someone recently suggested to implement this as a flag to `source checkout` rather than `artifact checkout`. It kinda makes sense that the build tree is related to the source, but it's also stored as part of the artifact. Maybe it makes sense to move it to a separate toplevel command? something like `bst buildtree checkout`? * This is currently checking out the buildroot rather than what is traditionally considered a "build tree". This means it can work with both build elements and non-build-elements, but it also means we get a whole sandbox with the dependencies, the build tree, and even the artifact (if the build succeeded) which is probably not what people asking for the build tree are looking for. * if we go with a new toplevel command, we might want to expose options to checkout either the build tree or the build root. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
