Subject: DAV:current-label
The original motivation for DAV:current-label was to ensure that the
revision
resulting from a checkin did not disappear when it is checked in. With the
new "non-dynamic" workspace behavior, new revisions are by definition
selected
by the workspace when they are created by CHECKIN.
This means that the original motivation for DAV:current-label no longer
holds.
This property was also provided a "convenience feature" of saving a LABEL
request for a client that wants to move some label on checkin. Since there
are
a very large number of such possible "convenience features", and we have
tried
hard to keep things simple by focusing on essential versioning
functionality,
I propose that DAV:current-label be removed until there is a demonstrable
interoperability problem that it solves.
Cheers,
Geoff
