As far as I know from previous mails, the buildbots already do a retry
when git fails. The retry period used today is obviously too short.

We know that git fails rather often and that those failures take some
time. Is there any reason why a buildbot cannot retry until it
succeeds with a much larger time limit than today?

A git retry limit of several hours or even a day would not harm.
Mails from the buildbot are only useful if some user action is
required - when git fails, you can only wait.

Developers who want a fast feedback for their latest commits
can either poll the buildbot, or the buildbot must be configured
to send individual mails with more information.

Stefan Weil
