Description

This feature could be activated by an option in settings, for instance:

<settings>
  <snapshotLocalRepository>${user.home}/.m2/snapshots</snapshotLocalRepository>
  ...
</settings>

This gives developer more control over snapshots which he typically produces during build.
One simple usecase is: drop all snapshots and make clean build (no ancient snapshot dependencies will bass) - useful especially after changing module identification.
