So this is... interesting. I agree this seems like essentially a random network failure that is not the fault of the code. Also... it doesn't seem like there is anything to be done other than retry the build.

@ulisesh and @AlitzelMendez. This seems like another instance of a "known issue" that would really benefit from the ability to get retried automatically. I think Carlos did the right thing by opening the known issue, but his PR (and any future PR that hits this) is still going to be blocked, since the build doesn't run at all in this case, because the checkout failed. And it would be great to help folks that hit this.

[ulisesh]

I created the issue to track how often it was happening and measure the impact of the problem. It might be hard to get traction on networking problems but having the number of impacted builds has great value in my opinion.

In the last 24 hours, we had 37 builds failed with the same error. cc @markwilkie who might find this data interesting.

I think automatic retries for known issues will be the next feature after we are done with analyzing builds retroactively, we can discuss this if people think we should change priorities.

[markwilkie]

So 37 builds were caught with the known issues feature @ulisesh ? Could I get the query please? (super exciting)

[ulisesh]

I saw 37 hits in the office but now I only see 33 🤔. There are 33 failed jobs in 2 different builds. Sorry if I misused the terms but I still think it is great that we can track these build breaks 😄

This is the query:

[ViktorHofer]

This happened 36 times in the last 24 hours. Should we add a retry (assuming that's possible)?
