[Buildbot-devel] the retry parameter of source.Git in buildbot.steps does not work at all

[Guo Hongruan]

Hi guys,
   I found that the retry parameter of source.Git in buildbot.steps does  
not work at all. If the buildbot failed to checkout source code from Git,  
it can not retry the next time. Instead of retry to checkout source code,  
the buildbot throw out an exception and causes the builder failed.

source.Git(repourl=repository, branch=oebranch, mode='update',retry=(30,5))

    This is the raw error information output by buildbot:

remoteFailed: [Failure instance: Traceback from remote host -- Traceback
