Just now, some git server that is in the DNS rotation seems to have an issue, $ telnet git.eu.kernel.org git Trying 199.6.1.166... Connected to git.eu.kernel.org. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host.

I thought it would be nice if git-fetch would retry the operation on the other DNS records that were returned if the connection breaks.
