When more than one build request is available for a builder, Buildbot can "merge" the requests into a single build. This is desirable when build requests arrive more quickly than the available slaves can satisfy them, but has the drawback that separate results for each build are not available.

http://docs.buildbot.net/0.8.8/manual/cfg-builders.html#merging-build-requests

The default (what is happening now) is to merge build requests.

This sometimes makes difficult the gardening process, because from one build to the another, several revisions are merged on the build and telling which revision broke some test is not straightforward. However this helps to have shorter waiting queues.

So, maybe the best compromise between the two options is to only disable merge requests for the bot "GTK Linux 64-bit Release (Tests)" and see how this works.

Ideally issue https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131948 should be fixed before.
