Description

Consider the following projects:

1. Project A with an artifact attached
2. Project B, that references A through <extends>
3. Project C, that references A through <dependency changing="true"> and B through <extends>

Disclaimer: I agree that this is a weird setup, but I didn't see it prohibited anywhere either. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If we now try to resolve C for the first time, everything will go fine.
However, if we update A's artifact and resolve C again, then A's artifact will not be re-downloaded.
