Description

Occasionally we find that we need to clear out our local repository; seems like nobody ever knows why, but in chatting with people I understand that it's not unheard of. I presume that the evil here is in SNAPSHOT versions present on some people's machines and not others.

It would be nice if there were some way to use purge-local-repository to knock out all SNAPSHOT versions for everything, rather than having to re-download released artifacts as well as SNAPSHOTs.
