retrieve doesn't retrive files if the current one is more recent

                 Key: IVY-1044
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1044
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Ant
    Affects Versions: 2.0
         Environment: Win XP, J2SE 1.6.0_11-b03
            Reporter: Daniel Dekany


The "retrieve" task will not retrieve files (artifacts) whose file modification 
date is greater than of the file in the repository (in the "resolver"), not 
even if sync="true". This way the target directory goes out of sync if (a) the 
module is downgraded in the repository or (b) the developer has overwritten the 
artifact manually when experiencing with something. Thus the only way to keep 
the target directory in sync is deleting it before retrieving, but of course 
that means suboptimal performance, and makes sync="true" useless anyway. 
Simply, a file should be retrieved if the date (or size!) is *different* than 
in the repository.
