sync-gitster-git-branches: limit concurrency

It does not make sense to try synchronizing in parallel. I considered adding `cancel-in-progress: true`, but that strikes me as wasteful: if we're already pushing an update, canceling it would require the entire work to be done again, while chances are that any queued run will likely find that everything is already up to date and no further work needs to be done.
