Re: Consumer retry with delta-syncrepl

[Jan-Piet Mens <jpm@retail-sc.com>]

FWIW, if an entry on the provider is modified every two minutes,
the consumer doesn't stop (have been monitoring this for about
seven days). OTOH, an update every five minutes is not sufficient,
and the consumer "falls asleep" and doesn't sync with the provider
any longer.
