>    c -> a:test, b:provided

> Where -> denotes a dependency and group ids, types and versions have

>
>    c
>    +- a:test
>    |  \- commons-lang:test
>    \- b:provided
>       \- (commons-lang:provided - omitted for duplicate)
>
> Thus the associated classpaths are:
>
>    compile classpath: b
>    test classpath: a, b, commons-lang
>
> This means that b loses its commons-lang dependency on the compile
> classpath.  I'd have expected to see the following dependency tree:

>    c
>    +- a:test
>    |  \- (commons-lang:provided - scope updated from test; omitted
> for duplicate)
>    \- b:provided
>       \- commons-lang:provided
>
> With the associated classpaths:
>
>    compile classpath: b, commons-lang
>    test classpath: a, b, commons-lang

> This would entail changing the resolution for test/provided scopes to
