Ok, this is very interesting.
I found and added <property name="ivy.default.always.check.exact.revision"
value="false"/> to ivysettings.xml and the problem is solved.
I see that this is actually documented (together with
alwaysCheckExactRevision), but I had missed it in the middle of all those
options.
I also think it would make sense to make it false by default.
By the way, it would be nice to have a page listing all the possible
ivy.blah.blah properties/variables with their meaning, default values and ways
to override them.
Thanks
Adrian
P.S. I think I haven't said it yet - I really like Ivy and I'd like to thank
and appreciate all who worked/are working to develop it.

Subject: Change alwaysCheckExactRevision default value (was Re: Ivy errors with
sftp resolver and revision ranges)
It
happens
quite
frequently
that
people
report
this
kind
of
problem,
I
think
Maarten
you
fixed
something
about
that,
but
I
think
it
would
make
sense
to
change
the
default
value
of
alwaysCheckExactRevision
to
false,
because
I
think
most
of
the
time
people
don't
want
Ivy
to
check
the
revision
as
asked
when
it's
a
dynamic
revision.
So,
does
anybody
see
any
problem
with
changing
the
default
value
to
false
?

It
