something as common-sounding yet specific as this should be in a namespace (at
least browser_sync::)

It might be better to also tweak the name... HarnessRetryVerifier? RetryVerifier
is a pretty open ended name.

[lipalani1, 2011/08/09 01:39:02]

Kept the name but put a namespace called sync_test_harness.

style guide says: retry_count()

what is this param for? (comment)
