The idea was brought up by Paul Morelle. To be honest, this idea of rescheduling a failed exec makes so much sense that I wish we had done this from the get-go. So let's do the next best thing: implement a command-line option and a config setting to make it so. The obvious intent behind that config setting is to not only give users a way to opt into that behavior already, but also to make it possible to flip the default at a later date, after the feature has been battle-tested and after deprecating the non-rescheduling behavior for a couple of Git versions. If the team agrees with my reasoning, then the 3rd patch (introducing -y <cmd> as a shortcut for --reschedule-failed-exec -x <cmd>) might not make much sense, as it would introduce a short option that would become obsolete soon.
