jaikiran pai commented on IVY-1439:
-----------------------------------
With the deprecation of `symlinkmass` in the upcoming release, as noted in the
dev discussion[1], I believe this JIRA is now addressed. Essentially, in the
upcoming release `symlinkmass` is effectively a no-op.

> ivy:retrieve with symlinkmass="true" and sync="true" deletes all retrieved

>
> The symlinkmass attribute added to the retrieve task seems to be incompatible
> with sync="true.
> If the two are combined, running an ivy:retrieve with Ant debug logging on
> shows that all the retrieved files are linked, and all of the links are then
> deleted - i.e. the net effect is that no files/links are materialized by the
> retrieve.
> When running with sync="false", the retrieve with symlinkmass="true" behaves
> as expected.
