Re: Retry on all A/AAAA records

Just now, some git server that is in the DNS rotation seems to have an

Connected to git.eu.kernel.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

I thought it would be nice if git-fetch would retry the operation on 
the other DNS records that were returned if the connection breaks.

I think people who wrote git_tcp_connect_sock() in connect.c apparently
thought so, too.  It uses either gethostbyname() or getaddrinfo() and
iterate over the list of addresses returned from these functions.
