Not a huge deal but seems like a potential improvement.
We've discussed adding custom Python configuration code to ignore these failures. Looking at the buildbot documentation there is a 'retry' parameter for version control which "specifies a tuple of (delay, repeats) which means that when a full VC checkout fails, it should be retried up to repeats times, waiting delay seconds between attempts". This sounds like it could work. I suggest setting retry = (5 * 60, 3) so that we wait 5 minutes after a failed git fetch and try 3 times. Daniel: In the buildbot 0.8.3p1-1 docs I found the 'retry' parameter under 4.11.3 Source Checkout. Is it possible to add this parameter? Thanks, Stefan
