Maarten Coene resolved IVY-1044.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
I've added an 'overwriteMode' attribute to the ivy:retrieve task to configure
when the destination files should be overwritten...
> retrieve doesn't retrive files if the current one is more recent
> ----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: IVY-1044
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1044
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Ant, Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: Win XP, J2SE 1.6.0_11-b03
> Reporter: Daniel Dekany
> Assignee: Maarten Coene
> Fix For: 2.2.0-RC1
>
>
> The "retrieve" task will not retrieve files (artifacts) whose file
> modification date is greater than of the file in the repository (in the
> "resolver"), not even if sync="true". This way the target directory goes out
> of sync if (a) the module is downgraded in the repository or (b) the
> developer has overwritten the artifact manually when experiencing with
> something. Thus the only way to keep the target directory in sync is deleting
> it before retrieving, but of course that means suboptimal performance, and
> makes sync="true" useless anyway. Simply, a file should be retrieved if the
> date (or size!) is *different* than in the repository.
