The documentation for --rebuildtree says:
When installing an AUR package rebuild and reinstall all of its AUR dependencies recursively, even the ones already installed. This flag allows you to easily rebuild packages against your current system's libraries if they have become incompatible.
Expected behavior
For me this means that --rebuildtree implies --rebuild, but the screenshot below indicates otherwise.
Either clarify the documentation or fix the behavior.
Is there any point of rebuildtree without rebuild?
How about making it a parameter with optional value, i.e. --rebuild=target, --rebuild=all, --rebuild=tree, which defaults to target when only --rebuild is provided? Then it could also accept certain packages to rebuild as in --rebuild=package1,pacakge2.
By the way, is --rebuildall essentially the union of --rebuild and --rebuildtree? If so that should be clarified as well.
