Description

Support relocations or the ability to override versions. e.g. xml-apis#xml-apis;2.0.2 has been relocated to xml-apis#xml-apis;1.0.b2, but Ivy fails, telling me to depend directly on the new version. Well, if I could, that would be awesome, but I can't because I have no choice about what revision a transitive dependency uses. So, I have to use the following rule instead:

<rule>
	<fromsystem>
		<src org="org.apache.xml" module="xml-apis"/>
		<dest org="$m0" />
	</fromsystem>
	<tosystem>
		<src org="xml-apis" module="xml-apis" rev="2.0.2" />
		<dest org="org.apache.xml" module="$m0" rev="1.0.b2" />
	</tosystem>
</rule>

Which works, despite issue #1185 not working.
