repo layout cannot resolve old timestamps
-----------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-255
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-255
     Project: m2
        Type: Bug
  Components: maven-artifact  
    Reporter: Brett Porter
 Assigned to: Brett Porter 
     Fix For: 1.0-alpha-1


when timestamps are published, they go to /2.0-SNAPSHOT/. THe decision behind 
this was to keep the artifact director from growing unreasonably with a large 
number of snapshots per release.

However, if you now change 2.0-SNAPSHOT to 2.0-yyyyMMdd.HHmmss-B in your POM, 
it won't be found, as it doesn't know to lookup inside 2.0-SNAPSHOT.

I'd like to keep that structure, but it would require more smarts - and that 
means cutting off old versions of m2 when it is fixed. I'm inclined to go back 
to the timestamped directories for the first release, and improve on it later.
