"retry" option for checking out sources seems obsolete

Description

Hi

The website mentions the "retry" option here http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/latest/manual/cfg-buildsteps.html

but looking at the source code, the "retry" option appears to be part of the /steps/source/oldsource.py which, if I understand correctly, should not be used anymore. Could you please update the documentation on the website to mention that this option is a Noop for new sources? Or could you bring it back as I find this option very useful when running multiple builders at the same time where all of them are cloning the same repository?

It's present for git and repo, but missing for svn (#2357), bzr, cvs, and mercurial.

Are you sure that this is supposed to work in Git? I have retry=(60, 10) and whenever git fetch/clone fails, I see no retries.

I see that steps/source/base.py accepts a retry= option, but this option is never used in steps/source/git.py. Do I miss something?

I'm thinking of retryFetch, but you're right - that's not the same.
