[Buildbot-devel] DirectoryUpload not over-writing

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

The DirectoryUpload is basically a FileUpload with `tar -cf -` on one
and and `tar -xf -` on the other.  Except using Python's built-in
tarfile module.

The function used on the master is
https://docs.python.org/2/library/tarfile.html#tarfile.TarFile.extractall

Some manual checking shows that extractall will overwrite files with
matching filenames.  So, I'm not sure how you'd see what you're
seeing.
