PRs merged before build started should not report broken status
This change:
https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/77
Broke behavior that I used to like which is that I could rebase and push and merge a PR before the build was done and the build would run "asynchronously" and I'd stll get notification if something went badly. Now it just cancels the build and always shows up as an angry red cross on github.
And I do this because I need to edit a CHANGELOG.md file which is shared and which constantly produces merge conflicts as people merge commits to it. So pushing the rebase and waiting 30-60 minutes for the build to complete can often result in a merge conflict and a need to re-rebase it and push it again, and wait again.
I can understand the original intent of the request to avoid running builds on closed PRs (that's useless). I'm not sure it makes sense to also cancel builds on merged PRs (since if something does go wrong on the merged PR it'd still be useful to get notification about that after-the-fact even if you didn't get it before-the-fact). Its also just annoying because all my PRs look red all the time, and at the very least I'd like the ability to set the old behavior.

Looks like we need another project setting! Something like
Do not build closed PRs(feel free to suggest a better wording) and by default it won't be enabled. Right?2 Posted by Lamont Granquis... on 23 Nov, 2015 08:46 AM
Yeah, I don't know that I care what the default setting is. Since not a
lot of people seem to have found my ticket, maybe the default should be
the way it is now. Your wording seems fine to me.

A new option "Always build closed pull requests" has been added to General tab of project settings.
