Actully no. It queues up another build. I've seen this happen several 
times, with SVN and a timer of 2 minutes, where the build takes 10-15 
minutes. Sometimes 3-4 builds are in queue due to incomming commits 
during a build.

I think SVN might work well here. Change-hooks for DVCS:s (Mercurial for 
one) tend to send all pushed commits as a single change, thus not 
allowing for this. (that could of course be fixed, rather easily methinks)
