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

Thanks for the suggestions!  We should think about ways to get you 
unstuck.  Are you fetching 3rd-party repositories here, or is it 
primarily repositories you (ultimately) have control over?  Also, do you 
have any idea if the repositories you are fetching are "hashed" 
repositories?  There may be some way to exploit the file contents hashes 
and caching that darcs already provides ("hashed" files are copied to a 
global cache, so subsequent fetches can be faster; perhaps it would 
suffice to detect the misfetched files and delete them)

Could I ask you to redirect the transaction journal remark to darcs-
users? I don't think I'm a good person to comment on this.
