[PATCH 1/2] submodule--helper: initial clone learns retry logic

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Each submodule that is attempted to be cloned, will be retried once in
case of failure after all other submodules were cloned. This helps to
mitigate ephemeral server failures and increases chances of a reliable
clone of a repo with hundreds of submodules immensely.

The choice of the priority queue is a bit miss-leading as we use it as a
standard queue, but the priority queue offers the best API to use.
