I find myself in disagreement with this issue. From my perspective: * The [original thread](https://gitlab.com/BuildStream/buildstream/merge_requests/820#note_111756025) speaks of the ability of bst workspace open to handle multiple targets, but this is rather different since workspaces always only apply to a single element * The checkout commands in question both have `--except` and `--deps` options, which means the proposed syntaxes in the issue would not be able to handle those specifics for each target being checked out * There does not appear to be much in the way of material gain in supporting multiple targets in the checkout routines (given that these are IO intensive tasks, it is doubtful that we gain much in terms of speed when compared to checking out things sequentially, asides from the fact that we don't even run the scheduler for these tasks) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
