I am currently using ivy version  ivy-2.2.0.

We have continuous integration(though not full scale), please consider the
following scenario.

Module A is published to ivy repository using ssh resolver (works fine)
Module B has a dependency of 'A 2.1.0', supposed to retrieve A from ssh
repository. There are some cases where the minor release may not contain any
version no change. In this scenario i need to eagerly fetch the latest copy
(in case if it is a newer one than in  the local ivy-cache) to module B.
I tried overwriteMode="newer" but this has no effect.

ivyconf.xml (used by A and B)
-----------
............
<chain name="chain-resolver" returnFirst="true" >
<ssh name="mycompany-repository-ssh" keyFile="${ivy.ssh.key.location}"
keyFilePassword="${ivy.ssh.pass.phrase}" host="${ivy.repository.host}"
user="${ivy.ssh.username}" checkmodified="true">
				<artifact pattern="ivy/${ivy.ivyrep.default.artifact.pattern}"/>  			
			</ssh>
............................
<ibiblio name="ibiblio-maven2"...
.....

</chain>


build.xml (used in B)
---------
<!--  ivy related tasks -->
    <target name="resolve" >
        <echo>Resolving using conf from ${ivy.conf.file} for all
configurations</echo>
    	<property name="ivy.resolver.default.check.modified" value="true"/>
        <configure file="${ivy.conf.file}" />
        <resolve file="${ivy.dep.file}"/>
    </target>

    <target name="env" depends="resolve">
        <retrieve pattern="${ivy.retrieve.pattern}" conf="*" sync="true"
overwriteMode="newer" />
    </target>


ivy.xml (used in B)
---------
<dependencies>	       
		<dependency org="myorg" name="A"  rev="2.1.0" changing="true"  />
</dependencies>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

resolve from the cache)
