These log messages are confusing, beacause they are not resolve time
conflicts, but retrieve time conflicts: when Ivy retrieves a set of
artifact, if it has to retrieve two artifacts to the same location, it
complains about a conflict. For instance if you have a dependency on
acme#foo;1.0 in conf A and acme#foo;2.0 in conf B, then retrieve both confs
together with a pattern in which you do not put neither the conf nor the
revision, Ivy will inform about these "conflicts", and select the latest
version (this behaviour is not currently pluggable nor configurable).

IMO adding an option to put these messages at verbose level would be nice,
what could be even better is to make the behaviour pluggable/configurable,
and make the message explicit to tell that this is a retrieve conflict, not
a resolve conflict.
