Submodule pom contains a \ dependency to a library which contains a snapshot dependency. This was was not detected by the release plugin.

submodule pom (which should be released)

> \
> > > \com.github.stefanbirkner\
> > > \system-rules\
> > > \1.8.0\
> > > \test\
> > > \

The system-rules library pom contains:

> \
> > \commons-io\
> > \commons-io\
> > \[2.0,)\
> > \compile\
> > \

This is resolved to a snapshot like commons-io 2.5-20150806.132407-140

**Affects:** 2.5.1

Start with the release:prepare snapshot-dependency check and reproduce the supplied Maven setup: a test-scoped dependency on system-rules whose transitive commons-io range resolves to a timestamped snapshot. Trace how dependency scopes and version ranges are inspected. Done means release:prepare detects and reports that resolved snapshot dependency instead of proceeding.
