How to backout a promotion
Sometimes we'll get a bug requesting that we revert to a previous version
For instance, bug 860783,
buildbot master -> ssh -i .ssh/b2gbld_dsa ec2-user@update.boot2gecko.org
cd /data/update-channels/nightly/
Move away the files they request you to and touch the files you want to revert to. For example, for {{bug|860783}}
we needed to move away everything newer than *2013040923* and then touch the 040923 files.
