+Since Ivy 2.0 this task has been enhanced to allow you to retrieve information about ivy modules in a repository.  Instead of specifying a local ivy file you may specify the organisation, module, revision pattern and (optionally) the branch of the ivy module in the repository you wish to retrieve the information for.
+
+The revision pattern is what is used when declaring a <a href="../ivyfile/dependency.html">dependency</a> on a module, identical to how the <a href="findrevision.html">findrevision</a> task works.  In fact this task can now be used in place of the findrevision task.
+
+If no matching module is found then no property values are set.
+
+You may now also set the property attribute to change the first part of the property names that are set by this task e.g. if you set the property attribute to 'mymodule' this task will set the ant properties <i>mymodule.organisation</i>, <i>mymodule.module</i>, <i>mymodule.revision</i> etc.
