(Whiteboard: [fxp][vision])

This bug is to find a way to either resolve, or find a work-around for this issue. The problem is that when a dev does a push to try and has a cached base revision, but uses --rebuild the rebuild will only be applied to the new run.

This isn't a big issue because a developer can either retrigger the test from CompareView directly, or from the try run. We should at least add some documentation to explain this.

That said, if it doesn't become a bigger issue, we could look into adding a flag like --clear-cache, or --no-cache to clear/ignore the cached revisions.

We have the --clear-cache option now but I'm not sure if the underlying issue of the --rebuild option not applying to the base is resolved, how do you want to proceed with this issue. I think we should still proceed, and keep the bug since it's still a core feature not working as expected. What do you think?

Yup we can keep it open since it's still valid. I think there's a significant amount of work to do here but it would be worth starting off by exploring what options we have for solving the issue at least.
