Description

One pom has two modules, both modules link to the same third module.

ProjectSorter detects this as a DuplicateProjectException, but in fact if you check getFile() for both projects they are in fact the exact same underlying pom.xml.

So I've provided a patch to ProjectSorter which check and skips the conflicting project, prior to throwing DuplicateProjectException.

Not sure if I should be fixing ProjectSorter or if the bug needs to be fixed earlier...

Testcase, execute the parent pom, with maven-core and it fails, then build maven-core with the supplied patch and rebuild the parent pom.
