#3829 closed defect (fixed)

Redundant jobs often run anyway, using up more GitHub Actions minutes than necessary

Description

If a developer is working on a branch and pushes commit A, notices an error from one job on CI, fixes it, then pushes commit B then all of the remaining commit A jobs are probably irrelevant. The jobs all need to run for commit B and those results will all supersede the results of jobs for commit A.

Thus, in this situation, jobs for commit A should be aborted as soon as commit B is pushed.
