When I click edit on a XWiki page and "Save and
View" or "Save and
Continue", without making any changes, a new version number is
created. This is contrary to existing conventions in SVN, which
will
intelligently check whether there are any modifications that would
warrant a new version number. Is this a fundamental different
view of
the XWiki development team or is it a technical difficulty or simply
something that has not been implemented yet?
It's just not implemented yet. I have wanted to fix this for a long
time but have never actually taken the time to do it. I'd like this
too.
Also, it would be nice to prevent the creation of a new version on
multiple edits within a short time. These are the typical edits when
you forgot something, spotted a misspelled word, just wanted to see if
everything looked fine in saved view etc... A good rule is creating
only one new version for all the edits one user made within the same
hour. It would make revision history cleaner and more usable.
We do have this already implemented. It's called minor edits and it's
in 1.2.
