From f1e9e9a4dbe2cfb39dcb14ee4f34628ef46d7b15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Haggerty Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2014 23:49:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] rename_tmp_log(): limit the number of remote_empty_directories() attempts This doesn't seem to be a likely error, but we've got the counter anyway, so we might as well use it for an added bit of safety. Please note that the first call to rename() is optimistic, and it is normal for it to fail if there is a directory in the way. So bump the total number of allowed attempts to 4, to be sure that we can still have at least 3 retries in the case of a race.
