Subject: working resource DAV:merge-state property?
With the MERGE method, a new working resource is created with multiple
predecessors. In some cases, the server will give the new working
resource an empty body; in other cases, the server will support an
automatic merge capability and can populate the working resource with
some initial text; and in other cases the initial text is suitable for
checking-in, after review by the user.
It is probably useful/important for the server to indicate
which of these states the working resource is in, e.g.
DAV:initial; DAV:intermediate; DAV:final
Comments?
Cheers,
