Description

Currently the ivy report mechanism does not show 'branch' info, not having this vital information makes it very hard to see what went into a build when you have the same version on a different branch.

example:
compA branch="proto" revision="1.0"
compA branch="integration" revision="1.0"

Looking at the report for two products that use these components you get only the info on revision and module, not the branch (the key factor).
compA revision 1.0 (which 1.0 was pulled? proto or integration?

Adding 'branch' to the report information just makes sense as it is a major factor when deciding what to pull.
