### Please describe the problem.
Often, when I `git annex get` a large file over ssh, it will hang in the middle, and I'll have to C-c to cancel it, and try again. This strategy works, but I often have to keep canceling and retrying 5-10 times for a large file. This is unfortunate. I think maybe rsync is getting overwhelmed. 

Request: Could you please add a flag --autoretry so that if `get` hangs, cancel and try again. This generally works, because of the rsync --partial flag, so it eventually gets to the end of the file. Thanks!

### What steps will reproduce the problem?


### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
git-annex version: 6.20160511-1~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1
Ubuntu 14.04

### Please provide any additional information below.

[[!format sh """
# If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here.
# If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log
