I like that idea, but the load on Jenkins isn't very high. The more complexity we add to the test script, the easier it is to screw it up (at some point we would need to add unit tests for the build scripts).
Maybe we can just add the message part, so it becomes clear that a pull request does not change anything other than markdown files, but still run through the regular tests?
