In default resolveMode, the revConstraint should be ignored except for reporting. After checking the code it seems that there's one place where it's used whatever the setting is: in ModuleInSort class. I see no reason why this is used, I guess it's due to the initial way of dealing with resolveMode, but now we use a mediation mechanism, so now using the dependency revision id seems to be better. I've just committed this change in Ivy, could you try out the trunk version and tell if it works better.
