Description

These work:

tensorboard --logdir logs/foo
tensorboard --logdir logs/bar
tensorboard --logdir a:logs/foo,b:logs/bar

But when I run this:

tensorboard --logdir logs/foo,logs/bar

I get a warning like this repeatedly printed:

WARNING:tensorflow:Conflict for name .: old path /home/colin/src/myproject/logs/foo, new path /home/colin/src/myproject/logs/bar

In tensorboard, only one run is shown.

I installed tensorflow-tensorboard using pip, and the version is 0.1.2

(I tried debugging, but the warning gets raised in a separate daemon thread, and I wasn't able to figure out how to get pdb to attach to it)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with tensorboard --logdir logs/foo,logs/bar using the reported tensorflow-tensorboard 0.1.2 behavior, then compare it with the working named-logdir form. Done means both log directories appear as separate runs without repeated "Conflict for name" warnings.
