Dear community,

Use case: A build fails due to an externality. The source is actually correct. 
It would build OK and pass if simply re-run. Is there some way to nudge 
Travis-CI to do another build, other than pushing a "dummy" commit?

The way I often used is `git commit --allow-empty -m 'trigger rebuild'`, push a 
dummy commit, the travis will rebuild. Also noticed some apache projects have 
supported this feature.

For example:
1. Carbondata use "retest this please"
    https://github.com/apache/carbondata/pull/3387

2. Bookkeeper use "run pr validation"
    https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/pull/2158

But, I can't find a effective solution from Github and Travis's 
documentation[1], any thoughts or opinions?

Best,
Lamber-Ken
