> For any publish-capable m2compatible resolver, <ivy:publish> will map dotted notation into a nested directory structure.   
> Currently, <ivy:retrieve> does not behave the same way.   When you retrieve an artifact with organisation org.ivy.foo, it retrieves into a directory named org.ivy.foo.   
> For consistency, it should map to a directory structure like org/ivy/foo the same way as <ivy:publish> does.   I think this should be the default behavior.   If someone decides they want it flattened, there could be an attribute flattenOrgNamespace or some such.
> This could be either a bug or an improvement, but I decided it was inconsistent and non-intuitive for publish and retrieve to handle dotted notation differently, so it could be considered a bug.  WDYT?
