linear versioning

Hi all,

JCR 2.0 will support simple versioning, which means a linear version
history like a wiki has.

My concern is how to ensure a linear version history in JCR 1.0 in a
scenario of several application instances accessing the workspace. Has
anybody tried this before or at least been thinking about it?

Regards,
 Florian

You'll always have a linear version history if the only version
history operations you use are checkin() and checkout(). To create
branches you need things like restore() or clone().

There's no way in Jackrabbit itself to enforce that branches are *not*
created in a version history, but your application can of course
decide how it wants to use the versioning feature.
