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
