Syncing don't update existing runs but create new ones

• Weights and Biases version: wandb, version 0.8.9
• Python version: Python 3.7.4
• Operating System: Linux 5.2.11 (Archlinux)

Description

Trying to sync runs launched on an offline compute server.

Downloading runs from the server to my local machine via ssh and then running wandb sync run-xxxxxx to push them online.

It works and push everything on wandb.com but instead of updating existing runs with new datas, it creates a new runs everytime.

If I sync it x times I will get x similar runs (just longer steps) on the website.

What I Did

Downloading runs from the server : rsync -r --copy-links user@server:folder local_folder

Syncing the downloaded runs (go to the folder and run) :find wandb/run* -maxdepth 0 -type d -exec wandb sync {} \; > result.out so it update for all runs

Everything of this works but duplicate each of the runs. This issue is to allow the sync command to update existing runs

Thanks in advance
