History

Billy Keyes cf022164c6 tq: add exponential backoff for retries Previously, retries happened as fast as possible unless the server provided the Retry-After header. This is effective for certain types of errors, but not when the LFS server is experiencing a temporary but not instantaneous failure. Delaying between retries lets the server recover and the LFS operation complete. Delays start at a fixed 250ms for the first retry and double with each successive retry up to a configurable maximum delay, 10s by default. The maximum retry is configurable using lfs.transfer.maxretrydelay. Delays can be disabled by setting the max delay to 0.		2020-04-15 14:10:16 -07:00
