Mirko Bulovic commented on IVY-697:
-----------------------------------

This enhancement is similar to "leaf" but not "root". Unlike "leaf", the 
dependencies are flattened before calculating the starting point.
As a simple example, in the buildlist tests, in testWithLeaf() when using 
"leaf=C" the build path becomes "C-A-D". In testRestartFrom() if we were to use 
"restartFrom=C" the build path becomes "C-A-D-E".
I should change testRestartFrom() to use "restartFrom=C" rather than 
"restartFrom=A" to make it easier to immediately see the difference.
Also if the attribute name is confusing we can change it to something more 
descriptive. Maye it should be startFromModule?
