Description

I am using simple versioning and I want to have a 'cancel checkout' functionality.
When using the restore functionality of the VersionManager to do this, a new version is created every time.

Quote from mailinglist (Tobias Bocanegra):
mainly:

15.7.1 Simple vs. Full Versioning Before Restore Under simple versioning, if N is checked-in then it is automatically checked-out before the restore is performed.
....

15.7.7 Simple vs. Full Versioning after Restore Under simple versioning N is automatically checked-in.
...

But i can see the need for a 'cancel checkout' also for simple versioning. maybe jsr283 is not too clear about that, but IMO a restore to the base version should not create a new version for simple versioning, neither. because it makes no sense.
