[darcs-devel] [issue2062] Darcs does not retry on failed http get/pull, resulting in useless repo

[Andrew Kroll]

New submission from Andrew Kroll <a at oo.ms>:

When 'darcs get' or 'darcs pull' has a failure during http download,
darcs does not try to re-get or resume the download. A resume would be
the proper thing to do, but a full retry would also be acceptable.

Without recovery, the repository copy created is corrupted and unusable. 

If automatic retry fails after 3 attempts, darcs should be smart enough
to know where it left off, so that a manual resume may be performed once
the network problem is resolved.
