Hi,

I think this thread might have died - a retry-logic for git commands would be great. IMO it is not even needed to continue the transfer from the faulty point, it would be a great benefit already if it dumps the failed request and simply retries the request X times with a backoff factor (just as the user would do manually if his request failed).

Any hopes?

Best Jan
