Bug Description
As the title states, netboot artifacts for older dailies are being updated when the latest daily gets published.
On inspection, it appears that the netboot artifacts are hardlinks to the same file:
$ ls -i www/full/
2267718 www/full/
2267718 www/full/
2267718 www/full/
My understanding of the code is that new daily directories are created by copying older builds using hard links to preserve artifacts untouched by a rebuild [0].
What appears to be happening is that the netboot tarball is being updated in place[1], thus causing all of the other dailies to be updated.
