If you were going to add the flag explicitly, that'd also work. Or just the option to the update_test_prefix that says "ok with duplicates, don't warn"

I can add the option explicitly (D94744 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D94744>). We should look for the filecheck one if possible, two options means double the hassle. That said, why are we warning in both FileCheck and update_test_check, it seems to be unnecessary to do the latter.
