Restoring a version - lose intermediate versions?
If I have a graph of versions:
v1, v2, v3, v4, v5 (v5 is latest)
And I open the Version for v2, and restore (Node.restore(v2)), the graph
then appears to look like:
v1, v2 - v3 and up are gone?
I assume this is "correct" behviour, as I am not doing anything fancy, just
surprised me.
My empirical understanding is that when I restore v2, I am not just wacking
on a new version with the old content, I am actually "rolling back" the
whole version graph to the state it was - at that point in time?
I am right? So if I want to work the "subversion" style of restoring - I
can, but I can't use JCR restore (I have to basically grab the old content,
and check it in as a new version, which works fine for me, I just want to
make sure I understand it).
Thanks,
Michael.

to clarify, I am using the "jcr:predecessors" to get to the predecessors.
Should I be using VersionHistory instead? and the iterator?

Hi Toby. Yes, just walking back through pre-decessors - whats the
alternative?

hi,
how do you display the version graph? by walking the version history?
regards, toby
