Description

Right now, the default overwriteMode during retrieve is 'newer'.
This is causing problems for us now (incorrect artifacts being loaded).

Since we don't use ant, but commandline access to Ivy, there's no way for us to fix this issue.
It would be great to either:

• add a commandline option to manage overwriteMode
• add overwriteMode to ivysettings.xml, so it can be overridden there
