    Subject: DAV:revisions property for a workspace resource
    
    Jim Amsden requested that the list of revisions in a workspace
    be available as a property.  I pushed back a bit by saying that
    this would make label-based workspace implementations hard, since
    such a workspace implementation would not know what has been labeled.
    Jim responded by saying that normally the labeled revisions would
    be those in a fixed number of collections, and so such an implementation
    would be able to find the revisions if it remembered the list of
    relevant collections.
    
    That makes sense to me, so I propose that we do as Jim suggests, and
    make the list of revisions in a workspace available as a property.
    In particular, I propose that we use the DAV:revisions property,
    which contains a list of stable URL's to the relevant revisions
    (like the versioned resource DAV:revisions property, and the activity
    DAV:revisions property).
    
    Any objections?
    
    Cheers,
    Geoff
