Configuration option to disable exponential backoff?

[dlqqq]

Hello, I use Unison extensively at work to sync filesystems between my local laptop and a development server. I've found that the default exponential backoff is annoying when the connection is unstable. The Unison client waits an unreasonably long time to retry connection to the Unison server after the connection is interrupted. Is there any configuration I can apply to the Unison client that either 1) increases the frequency at which connection attempts are made, or 2) disables exponential backoff entirely and pings the server every, say, 1000ms?

Thanks in advance!

Which backoff do you mean? Can you describe in more details what happens when the connection is unstable and how you are using Unison (it seems you're using the "repeat" preference but it's not clear).
