      Builds disappear from Jenkins some time after a project has been renamed.

      We upgraded from 1.492 on July 4th and then renamed one build. Four days later we realized the renamed build had lost some or all of its builds. We recovered the builds by reloading from disk this morning. Later in the afternoon, another project was renamed, and some of its builds went missing too.

      Here are the builds of the renamed job on disk:

      $ ls -l

      The disk shows 5 builds, 1 through 5, but the GUI only shows 4 and 5, it is missing 1, 2, and 3.

      JENKINS-19650 contains steps to reliably reproduce the problem.

      How do I debug this? One thing looks odd: the dates on the symbolic links differ from the dates in the build history, and differ from the directories they actually link.
