dependecies task overrides custom definition of 'central' repository

While using
<artifact:dependencies
cacheDependencyRefs="false"
pathId="maven.dependency.classpath"
useScope="test">
<pom file="pom.xml"/>
</artifact:dependencies>

with pom
<project>
...
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>central</id>
<url>https://custom/mvn/central</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
</repository>

</repositories>
</project>

the task is still trying to resolve my dependecies from http://repo2.maven.org/maven2.

A patch resolving this issue is attached.
