title: how to prevent gradle from downloading dependencies
body: <ol>
  <li><p>We would like to have a script that does "svn update" and if the depedency.gradle file is in that list of updates, we would like to run a task that ONLY updates dependencies so the developers machine is up to date.  What would that task be?  I don't see it when running "gradle tasks".  Looking for an updatejars or something.</p></li>
  <li><p>When we build our project, we don't want it to check for jar updates at all!!!!  most because that only needs to be done in 2 situations which are #1 above and when someone is updating the dependency.gradle file themselves. For the second thing, they can just run "gradle updatejars" once I know the answer to question #1 that is.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any ideas?  I am just getting into gradle and we really want to keep a consistent environment where when we run our update script, it gets the source code AND the jars in one atomic sweep and we are no longer bothered by checking the repositories every build.</p>
  
  <p>It would be nice to know how to do it by changing the build.gradle file if possible.  If not, is there a command line option?  (The build.gradle obviously would give me a command line option which is why I prefer that method as I could say compile does not depend on downloading jars).</p>
