### Please describe the problem.
I keep encountering situations where git-annex fails on parallel operations. Retrying the operation several times sometimes resolves the issue -- it would be better if git-annex could be configured to do the retrying. I have set `annex.retry` and `annex.retry-delay`, but these don't seem to be enough. Maybe, these config vars could apply to all idempotent operations?
I have also seen a parallel copy operation, copying to an S3 remote, hang indefinitely. Killing and retrying fixed the problem; it would be better if git-annex could have a timeout for operations, and kill and retry them automatically. This especially matters when building scripts on top of git-annex.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
I have included the log below. I think repeatedly trying to copy from a local repo to an S3 bucket (non-export-tree) should eventually reproduce the problem.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
