+More options such as using a different repo to store the mutex (which allows sharing a mutex between jobs from arbitrary repos) or using different access tokens can be found in [actions.yml](./actions.yml)

 ## Motivation
 
 GitHub Action has the [concurrency](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/using-concurrency) option for preventing running multiple jobs concurrently. However, it has a queue of length 1. When there are multiple jobs with the same concurrency group gets queued, only the currently running job and the latest job are kept. Other jobs are simply cancelled. There's more discussion [here](https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/5435) and it appears that GitHub does not want to add the requested `cancel-pending` feature any time soon (as of 2022-03-26). This GitHub action solves that issue.
