Hi,

I have a question regarding the behavior of ctest with regard to the 
--repeat-until-failure option. It seems that this option sequentializes
test execution for single tests in a test suite, while different tests can be 
run parallel to each other.

Is this the desired behavior? This is causing delays for my test suite, because 
some long-running tests are sequentialized. Would you be
willing to accept a contribution that changes this? I realize this would be a 
backwards compatibility issue, because running the same test
in parallel would break some tests, so I'd propose adding a new flag to ctest 
that would be disabled by default. Maybe
--parallelize-repetitions ?

Thanks,

Jupp Mueller
