Description

Right now it appears that Ivy does not have the ability to publish timestamped snapshots, which are a common format in Maven repositories. Such a feature would further improve (Ivy) collaboration with Maven repositories.

For example, when I tried to publish a snapshot to a Sonatype Nexus repository I found that the files were placed like so:
<nexus server root directory>
<snapshot repository folder>
<artifactName>
<versionNumber-SNAPSHOT>
<artifactName>-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
<artifactName>-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.pom

Whereas, artifacts published using Maven are placed according to the following file system structure:
<nexus server root directory>
<snapshot repository folder>
<artifactName>
<versionNumber-SNAPSHOT>
<artifactName>1.0.0<timestamp>.jar
<artifactName>1.0.0<timestamp>.pom
