You cannot submit a new build that completed successfully. 
You can resubmit a build with the same N-V-R until it works. 

ie, 

submit 3.3.3-1, it fails, you tweak some things, commit, don't change
the n-v-r and resubmit it works. 

Which git hash has the 3.3.3-1 tag? It should be the one that finished,
but if you tagged when you first submitted that N-V-R it would be
wrong.

Thats another case too.
