<depends>

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

On execution guarantees the listed dependencies are resolved before continuing. It is particularly useful for handling dynamic dependencies that change based on some input conditions/parameters, or when the dependencies are not known until runtime.

The depends task never forces the execution of any target that has already been executed. It works just like the depends attribute of a Target.
