           Summary: Retry Delay for Vanished Files/Directories

Pretty much as the title says; it'd be nice if we had some kind of
configurable
retry delay when rsync encounters a vanished file/folder. This would be
especially useful in cases involving mounted remote volumes, as it would mean
rsync could instead pause and try again in cases where the mounted volume is
temporarily disconnected.

Just wanted to add that it may make sense to separate the retry somehow so that
folders can be retried while files are skipped, for example, as backups of an
in-use hierarchy will be more likely to encounter files that vanish rather than
entire directories, so it may be worthwhile skipping the retry delay for files
in such cases.
