Details:

This patch makes reading from the USBtinyISP programmer more robust.
The error recovery of the firmware in the programmer is very limited,
which means that avrdude bails out on the first transmission error.
A failed read request is now retried a number of times, and the total
number of retries is reported at the end. The remaining changes are
cosmetic.

This post is an example of a situation where avrdude bails out:
