Subject: Re: new "Advanced Versioning Semantics" section
Geoff,
Looks good. Just a couple of things. Some of these may have already been
cleared up. I'm a little behind in my reading.
It wasn't clear how the SET-TARGET method populated the workspace with
revisions. Maybe just another sentence there would help.
If core versioning uses a default revision on a versioned resource,
wouldn't using a default workspace be in conflict with this? Wouldn't there
be two defaults specified? Or are these merged by setting the default
version of a versioned resource to a workspace rather than a label? If so,
this should be pointed out so one can see how default workspaces don't
introduce a new paradigm. It also wasn't clear how one would use different
default workspaces on different resources, but noting that they are just a
revision selector just like a label might clear up this confusion.
I particularly liked the sections on merging and activities. Indicating
merge conflicts arise when neither revision is a predecessor of the other
is the simplest way I've ever heard this described.
Thanks for the great work!
