We allow multiple entries in actions.json to have the same name, but require that their contexts make them apply to disjoint sets of tasks.  This is hard when you want a specific implementation for a few tasks, and a more general implementation for all other tasks.

We have an "order" for actions already.  So let's say that the first matching task, in order, is the one executed.
Once this is done, the two in-tree retriggers can both be named 'retrigger'.

Bug 1398277 needs a special retrigger action that applies only to decision tasks, with the default retrigger applying everywhere else.
We'll need a similar thing for treeherder, too.

/me smiles charmingly at Hassan..

Huh, order isn't in the spec.  https://github.com/taskcluster/taskcluster-references/blob/master/schemas/action-schema-v1.yml

I think the in-tree stuff specifies an order for the array in actions.json.  So I'll re-configure..

updated to just use the existing order, rather than the (nonexistent) order field.

Bug 1472792 - allow multiple actions with matching name

This takes advantage of the order in which actions are specified in the
array in `actions.json`.

Bug 1472792 - allow multiple actions with matching name, choose by order
OK, I think this needs to get implemented in treeherder, then we can land the mozilla-central patch.  Hopefully that's a fairly small patch in TH.  Over to you, Hassan!

Thanks for your work Dustin. I will try to send a PR sometime this week.
