Improve reliability of issue migration #88
Description
There have been a lot of issues reported about migrations failing due to failed
issue migrations. Dumping all of those to this master issue.
The underlying problem is due to underlying problems in App Engine's urlfetch
API, and the fact that the Google Code Exporter aborts the migration if any
GitHub API calls fail. A 0.01% chance of failure across hundreds of issues,
across dozens of comments is a serious problem.
If you delete the GitHub repository and try again, there is a chance it will
work on the next try. We've been making small progress towards reliability
here; but the real fix is to retry GitHub API calls in the event of failure.
(And check if state changing requests like POSTs actually went through.)
