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. Regards, Stefan Weil
