Description
This is basically a best guess as to what's happening on the bots, but from time to time it appears that the build directory gets entirely corrupted with error messages like:
extracting C:\bot\slave\auto-win-msvc-64-opt-rustbuild\build\obj\build\cache\2016-05-24\rust-std-beta-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.tar.gz

This happened on a MSVC rustbuild bot, but I believe I've seen this before on basically all bots (but I feel the windows bots are affected more often).
My best guess as to what's happening here is:
- A build is running, and it's updating the LLVM submodule
- The build is canceled for any number of a few reasons
- The LLVM update process is interrupted, leaving the git directory in a corrupt state
- All future builds attempt to use this corrupt directory and fail
I... don't actually know what the best solution here is. May as well track it though!
