> Ability to make Maven record:
>  * why given artifact is present in local repository
>  * record reverse dep tree how this artifact got resolved
> This is mostly for detecting dependency resolution anomalies, ideally best combined with {{-Dmaven.repo.local}} when you use new/empty local repo to build a project. After the build, you will end up with reverse dep trees in {{.tracking}} directories for each artifact.
> To enable, pass {{-Dmaven.repo.local.recordReverseTree}} on CLI.
