> When there is a conflict with the following characteristics, there is
> inconsistency of behaviour between most post-resolve actions, and the deliver
> action. Whereas retrieve / report etc are correct w.r.t the selected
> revision, Deliver produces an ivy descriptor that contains the evicted
> revision.
> The characteristics are:
> * Branches are in use
> * No special conflict manager or latest strategies are configured
> * There is a direct dependency on the module, and a transitive dependency on
> it
> * The transitive dependency has a higher version number than the direct
> dependency, BUT is on a different branch
> * This is a conflict; the (default) conflict manager selects the
> indirect/transitive one because its revision is 'latest' as you would expect
> * The ivy report and retrieve results reflect this selection
> * The delivered ivy descriptor contains the evicted version of the dependency
> Notes
> * Force is not in use
> * It is appreciably the case that it is most often an error (logically
> speaking) to have a conflict amongst different versions on different
> branches. Nevertheless, one expects ivy to behave consistently.
> In my view, here are the factors causing this:
> * the properties file written during the resolve process does not contain the
> selected branch information, only the requested branch (and only for the most
> direct dependency spec, if there are several)
> * in deliver, the iterator of the dependencies does not process those
> dependency IvyNodes that are not referenced directly by the root IvyNode. So
> where an indirect IvyNode was selected, it is ignored. This is a logic error.
> The properties file written during the resolve seems to be a frequent source
> of bugs. I wonder why the xml report is not used? IVY-1159 was also down to
> insufficient information in the properties file.
