Improve description of backoff sequence in db.loose - #119
Merged
Conversation
The sequence of backoff wait times used in `gitdb.db.loose` is quadratic rather than exponential, as discussed in: gitpython-developers#115 (comment) This corrects the variable name by making it more general, and the comment by having it explicitly describe the backoff as quadratic. This is conceptually related to GitoxideLabs/gitoxide#1815, but this is a non-breaking change, as no interfaces are affected: only a local variable and comment.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks a lot!
It looks like this mistake has been following me since my youth 😄.
