Subject: Re: DAV:revisions property for a workspace resource
From: jamsden@us.ibm.com
Maybe a workspace should just be a collection? Note that if we do
this, and have workspace revisions play the role of
configurations/baselines, then you wouldn't be able to have
configurations/workspace without versioned collections unless the
server did special cases for workspaces.
I guess we could do that if we *really* wanted to confuse people (:-).
It really does seem that a
workspace is a container of references to revisions and working
resources. This sure sounds like members of a collection, not
properties of a resource.
A collection gives a binding name (a URL segment) to members of a
single set. A workspace has two sets of objects, one of which it
contains (working resources) and one of which it just refers to
(revisions), and it does not associate a binding name with members of
either of these sets. Doesn't sound like a good fit to me.
Cheers,
Geoff
