    It sounds logical to have a UNCHECKOUT to abort the actions of a checkout.
    OTOH we shouldn't inflate the number of our methods.
    I also would be content if there would be something like:
    CHECKOUT policy abort (without caring about XML syntax)
    But this shouldn't be a checkin-policy.
