I do use the publish task and it appears that the ivy.xml is updated in the
repository (it has a new publication date). Here's the contents of the
repository directory:
Volume in drive C has no label.

You can see the timestamp difference and I've diffed the repository's ivy.xml
file against the cache's ivy-6.5.0.0.xml file and confirmed that they differ in
the publication date. So it does seem strange to me that the Ivy resolution
seems happy with the cached version.
