From: Lars Schneider <larsxschnei...@gmail.com>
If we push a branch and a tag pointing to the HEAD of this branch,
then Travis CI would run the build twice. This wastes resources and
slows the testing.
Add a function to detect this situation and skip the build the branch
if appropriate. Invoke this function on every build.
