Disallows using the same condition twice in an if/else if statement.
When you reuse a condition in an if/else if statement, the duplicate
condition will never be reached (without unusual side-effects) meaning this is
almost always a bug.
Invalid:
if (a) {}
else if (b) {}
else if (a) {} // duplicate of condition above
if (a === 5) {}
else if (a === 6) {}
else if (a === 5) {} // duplicate of condition above
Valid:
if (a) {}
else if (b) {}
else if (c) {}
if (a === 5) {}
else if (a === 6) {}
else if (a === 7) {}
