            Bug ID: 222038
           Summary: commit-queue should retry when it fails to commit
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: aakash_jain at apple.com

commit-queue has been frequently failing to commit since we moved ews to github (see https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2021-February/031686.html). Most of the times it succeeds on retry. 

One reason for that might be that there is a delay in syncing between svn.webkit.org and github.com (since we canonicalize the commits before pushing them to github which takes some time).

Another reason for the failure is that sometimes between the time commit-queue updates to Tot, applies the patch and tries to commit; there might be another commit on trunk which modifies one of the file being modified in the patch (often ChangeLog), causing the file to be out of date.

commit-queue should automatically retry to commit before giving up (while handling above situations appropriately).
