Should be \+pgi.

Ooh, interesting. They shouldn't double build.

The logic for this would make 2 comments that tests have been scheduled
(but only 1 kwrobot comment per comment with >1 Do: test), but buildbot
itself should merge the two into one column and not double build
(columns are based on "source stamps" which would be the same for a
given MR update). You may get 2 report comments at first.

Merge updates would process both commands at once and wouldn't have this
weirdness.

Thanks,
