Very nice. For my own workflow, I'll often do something like:

  - work on a topic
  - decide that the topic is ready for submission, so push it to GitHub
  - while running `git rebase master -x 'make -j40 DEVELOPER=1 test'`, I
    notice that an earlier patch is broken, so fix it
  - push the (updated) topic out

...and before preparing the rest of the series for submission, I'll cancel any in-progress runs, the results of which I no longer care about.

It sounds like this does exactly that automatically, making older runs obsolete by newer ones.

Thanks, Taylor
