Description
It would be possible to rez-build a whole pile of stuff all at once, efficiently, with a flag that effectively changes directory in to a package dir prior to package build.
So given an unbuilt package directory with some packages, one could run a series of chained build commands. Example hypothetical usage;
rez-build --build-path path/to/package; rez-build --build-path path/to/otherPackage
It's possible to work around that with a bunch of cd commands between commands, but supporting in the box as a convenience would be nice. Terminology and wording/flags named at your discretion.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the rez-build command entry point and inspect how package directories and build paths are currently handled. Reproduce the chained package-build example from the issue, then define the flag behavior and verify that consecutive commands can build each package without intervening cd commands.
