Hi!

I just noticed that MidCOM's RCS service is behaving strangely for me on at least two different machines:

I took an article without an RCS history (MidCOM says "no revisions exist"), and saved it once without changing anything. Then, the RCS history looked like this:

Revision        Date    User    Lines   Message
1.7 23.06.2008 22:23:26 Z flack +5 -5 Updated on Tue 24.Jun 2008 by flack 1.6 23.06.2008 22:23:26 Z flack +2 -2 Updated on Tue 24.Jun 2008 by flack 1.5 23.06.2008 22:23:26 Z flack +4 -4 Updated on Tue 24.Jun 2008 by flack 1.4 23.06.2008 22:23:21 Z flack +2 -2 Updated on Tue 24.Jun 2008 by flack 1.3 23.06.2008 22:23:21 Z flack +3 -3 Updated on Tue 24.Jun 2008 by flack 1.2 23.06.2008 22:23:21 Z flack +1 -1 Updated on Tue 24.Jun 2008 by flack
1.1     23.06.2008 22:23:21 Z                   Initial revision        

then I saved the same article one more time without changing anything, which turned the RCs history into this:

Revision        Date    User    Lines   Message

It happened on another machine as well and on a third one, I at least see strange-looking RCS histories like the one above (didn't want to try on a production system though). It seems that each save operation produces something like 6 RCS revisions, with completely bogus line change information.

Does this happen to others as well? It kind of renders the RCS function useless, if you have to skip through six revisions for each real revision. Also, I wonder if for some reason, multiple db writes of the same object are performed for each save operation, which might explain why saving always takes so long.

This happens on Midgard 1.8.8. and current MidCOM packages when editing articles either from the toolbar or from Asgard.


Bye,

Andreas
