Description

It can be helpful to expose some parent metadata as properties. As module inheritance support multiple parent we should have something like :

• ivy.parents.count : number of parents module
• ivy.parent[index].organisation : set to the organisation name found in the parent ivyfile which was used for resolve
• ivy.parent[index].module : set to the module name found in the parent ivyfile which was used for resolve
• ivy.parent[index].revision : set to the revision name found in the parent ivyfile which was used for resolve
• ivy.parent[index].branch : set to the branch name found in the parent ivyfile which was used for resolve

Where index represent the index of extends module.
