When fetching deps, if this is a clean repo there will be extensive messages warning that dependencies which have already been fetched are being skipped. For large projects being built and tested in a clean environment this significantly increases the noise level of the build. This modification adds an additional rebar option (deps_warning_on_conflict) that will allow disabling these warning messages. If deps_error_on_conflict is set, an error will still be thrown. This will not change default behaviour of rebar. There is a similar outstanding issue: https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/issues/1105 However this seems to be a push for not outputting warnings when the dep version is the same, rather than disabling warnings altogether.pull/1664/head
