Bitbucket Cloud had a performance issue that resulted in intermittent connection timeouts for various activities including git clones, pulls, pushes, and UI requests today: https://bitbucket.status.atlassian.com/incidents/6lzhx12yy2bt

We found that the Bitbucket plugin allows us to configure the timeout value for the git clone during a pipeline job but does not seem to have any support for retrying the clone when the connection times out.

We would like to see a minimally configurable retry logic with a specifically configurable retry limit for connection timeout errors similar to the retry logic for rate-limited requests. This will avoid the need for someone to babysit pipeline jobs by manually retrying over and over when Bitbucket Cloud has issues.
