Subject: Adding a DAV:default-revision property to versioned resources
In the spirit of minimizing the complexity of core versioning, I
propose we replace the "default workspace" core versioning concept
with a DAV:default-revision property for versioned resources. You
simply set this property (it is a live property, restricted to
revisions of the versioned resource) when you want to specify the
default revision.
An advanced versioning server will probably allocate some label
to represent the "default revision", but that's an implementation
decision that is left to the server implementor.
The DAV:workspace property of a working resource continues to be
the way to identify a working resource (e.g. in a Workspace header),
but in core versioning, the value of this property is an opaque
identifier. When a server supports workspaces, it would always
store an href as the value of the DAV:workspace property.
Comments?
Cheers,
Geoff
