[metrics-team] duplicates in collector tarballs?

Hi,

when testing some descriptor converter I stumbled across the fact that descriptor tarballs for a given month sometimes contain a few descriptors from the month before or after. That introduces a problem that I might be able to overcome by poking at the code but before I try that I’d like to know:
- if a descriptor tarball for say 2012-10 also contains descriptors from 2012-09 does that mean that the 2012-09 descriptors contained in the 2012-10 tarball are not contained in the 2012-09 tarball? Or are they duplicates?
- and if they are no duplicates: would it be hard to repackage the tarballs? Tedious for sure, but hard? Or not good for other reasons?

Cheers
Thomas
