buildah push is not retrying?

[cmorve-te]

The docs say

**--retry** *attempts*

Number of times to retry in case of failure when performing push of images to registry.

Defaults to `3`.

So I was expecting up to 3 retries if there is any problem pushing the image. But I'm getting

$ buildah push <image>
Getting image source signatures
Copying blob sha256:<hash>
Copying blob sha256:<hash>
Error: pushing image "<image>" to "docker://<image>": writing blob: Patch "https://<...>/blobs/uploads/<hash>": write tcp <ip>:<port>-><ip>:443: use of closed network connection

error messages with buildah 1.38.0, which don't seem to indicate any retry?

I don't know go, but FWIW in https://github.com/containers/buildah/blob/v1.38.0/push.go#L120 I see RetryDelay but no MaxRetries.

Sometimes it actually does retry

$ buildah push <image>
time="2024-12-04T13:58:53Z" level=warning msg="Failed, retrying in 1s ... (1/3). Error: trying to reuse blob sha256:<hash> at destination: pinging container registry <hostname>: Get \"[<url>\](<url>/)": EOF"
