But this situation is handled by the "ignored-set" element, isn't it? In
particular, a client would know to re-invoke the merge if there are
some "ignored" versions, and if there are any collections that require
merging (in case the collection merge made one of the "ignored"
versions visible).
Cheers,
Geoff

For a recursive merge over versioned collections, the server may not be able
to recurse into a collection which it cannot merge automatically (because it
cannot know the members of the collection until after it is merged). So a
client must be prepared to repeatedly invoke the MERGE method, and perform
merges on at least collections, until it no longer gets a Partial Merge
response.
At least that's what I was hoping it was for!
