Short description: Will attempt only N upstreams and then fail with last  
error

I didn’t commit this to any trunk/branch,  
This is my first patch so I’m not sure how it goes.  
I submitted a gist of it to:  
[https://gist.github.com/shai-d/5446961](https://gist.github.com/shai-d/5446961)

Hope you will find it useful.
