-# If more than one workflow run is triggered for the very same commit hash
+# For pull requests, only the latest workflow run is allowed to proceed.
-# (which happens when multiple branches pointing to the same commit), only
+# Older runs are canceled when a new revision is pushed.
-# the first one is allowed to run, the second will be kept in the "queued"
