Hmm... I would guess that it would create a new "build” and likely lose the 
link to the original (though it would still be kept, just harder to find). Then 
again, the existing support for rerunning a release through VSTS keeps all the 
previous attempts... I’ll mention it, but the quickest fix here may not be 
immediately sufficient.

If you're talking to them, please ask them to make sure that the
"rerun this build" button doesn't erase the old log. (That's what it
does on Travis. Appveyor is better.) The problem is that when you have
a flaky/intermittent failure, your todo list is always (a) rerun the
build so at least it's not blocking whatever this unrelated change is,
(b) file some sort of bug, or comment on some existing bug, and link
to the log to help track down the intermittent failure. If you click
the "rebuild" button on Travis, then it solves (a), while deleting the
information you need for (b) – and for rare intermittent bugs you
might not have much information to go on besides that build log.
