I've improved the logging of ConflictError in Zope 2.9 and trunk.

Now you'll get two things:
- logs at level BLATHER for each conflict, but it may be retried
- log at level ERROR when the conflict can't be retried anymore and is returned to the browser as an error.

In my work, I've actually changed this to use the new, proper logging calls. I'll be comitting later this morning.

It doesn't really matter, zLOG has a compatibility layer that ends up doing the same thing.

I removed the log at level INFO because it is very misleading for system administrators in my experience.

I don't think so, I've actually changed and enhanced this in my work. You now get a log at INFO whenever a conflict occurs. It includes more information than the old version, as you'll see...

Please no. Don't put anything at INFO. A conflict error is either something normal that should be at level BLATHER or below, or an ERROR that a sysadmin wants to see logged as such. INFO sucks for recurring stuff like that that in addition contain the word "error" which it isn't. I can't count the number of sysadmin/customers/ hosting providers that freak out when something like that appears in the log and call us and we have to explain that yes, it's not logical but...

Do people want this also for 2.8? Note that it changes the log format, so may break third party tools that parse logs.

I was planning on rolling my changes out to 2.8, 2.9 and the trunk. Unless anyone strenuously objects, I still intend to do that. I cleaned up a lot of the code and made a few other changes that generally improve logging.

It's a shame Florent and I were genuinely working on this at the same time without the other knowing...

Well, I told you on the list that I was already working on this. You didn't pay attention I guess.
