There are indeed no additional semantics for UNCHECKOUT in section 14. Therefore, I think the semantics of section section 4.5 apply, because a version-controlled collection is also a version-controlled resource. Though the introduction of section 14 mentions workspaces, I don't think the merge feature is limited to workspaces. It is allowed to use a version-controlled collection as the request URI and a collection version as the source. If both would be associated with the same version history, for example, it would be strange if in such a case new version- controlled members would be created as described in section 4.11. Werner.
