I started thinking how this would play out over time. If we had 50 or 60 test 
named like this, that would require a script to make sense of it.   I will 
rename the test to ConstratintViolationRetryIT.    I am not sure if RB will 
handle renames when diffing patches, so I am thinking of making a 2nd patch w/ 
just the rename and a 3rd patch w/ the other changes.   Doing this to ensure it 
remains easy to diff the patches.

That does seems like an interesting concept.  Wouldn't this be a bigger change 
and maybe its own issue?  Doesn't seem like we would want to introduce 
something like that in this one place.
