Stefan,
Not sure if I'm fully understanding what you are trying to do, but see comments inline below

i'd like to do something like this:
- put a file in the repository (first time)
You would want to have the auto-version-control on.
- patch several properties on it
You would need to checkout the resource first. This can be done by setting the auto-version to empty to force manual checkout/checkin. Or, you could use "checkout" so the resource is only checked out when a write is attempted but must be checked in manually.
and then, when a document with the same name arrives:
I don't quite understand what you mean by "document with the same name", you would always be working on the checkedout version of the document with a given name.
- *** save the first version ***
This would be the checkin command.
- put the new version in the repository
This would be another checkout as in the steps above to create another working copy.
- patch several properties on it
Same as above.
my concrete questions: - has anybody a code-example how to do this?
I'm not sure if there is any explicit code, but you would be using the checkout, checkin, possibly uncheckout methods in the Slide Client API.
- and what values are needed in the auto-version-properties of domain.xml?
I would recommend
<parameter name="auto-version-control">true</parameter>
and either
<parameter name="auto-version"></parameter>
or
<parameter name="auto-version">checkout</parameter>
to allow more manual control over the checkin process.
and a general question:
- has the property "auto-version" in domain.xml any function if the property "auto-version-control" is set to false?
Good question, I haven't tested this. I would take a wild guess and say possibly. In that you could set auto-version-control to false so that a resource is NOT automatically put under version control. However, if the command was issued manually, then the auto-version property might be applied to control how that resource is handled.
I hope that helps you a little bit or gives you some ideas to try.
