Subject: RFC: Would a config fetch.retryCount make sense?
Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 14:48:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6762A30E-C558-4085-943B-AB85EBF18706@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

we occasionally see "The remote end hung up unexpectedly" (pkt-line.c:265) 
on our `git fetch` calls (most noticeably in our automations). I expect 
random network glitches to be the cause.

In some places we added a basic retry mechanism and I was wondering
if this could be a useful feature for Git itself.

E.g. a Git config such as "fetch.retryCount" or something.
Or is there something like this in Git already and I missed it?

Thanks,
Lars
