What’s the status of the internal feature request that was mentioned by a former CircleCI employee in this comment:

[https://discuss.circleci.com/t/prevent-concurrent-builds-of-a-branch/1142/23?u=relaxdiego](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/prevent-concurrent-builds-of-a-branch/1142/23)

It would be great if this feature was finally implemented because whatever current workarounds are presented either don’t address the requirements or use up credits unnecessarily.

For clarity, the behavior I expect to see is described under “Solution #3” of this article:
