 Hi

 The website mentions the "retry" option here
 http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/latest/manual/cfg-buildsteps.html

 but looking at the source code, the "retry" option appears to be part of
 the
 /steps/source/oldsource.py which, if I understand correctly, should not be
 used anymore. Could you please update the documentation on the website to
 mention that this option is a Noop for new sources? Or could you bring it
 back as I find this option very useful when running multiple builders at
 the same time where all of them are cloning the same repository?
