Attachment: jcr1046.diff
Proposed fix for this issue. This is a diff from the trunk branch of jackrabbit
(1.4-snapshot).
> Non-versionable children of a versionable node should not be updated when a
> merge fails

>
> The JCR specification (JSR-170) includes a merge algorithm that is
> inconsistent with the functionality described elsewhere in the JCR
> specification. Specifically from JSR-170 section 8.2.10 Merge:
> "In either case, (regardless of whether bestEffort is true or false) for each
> non-versionable node (including both referenceable and non-referenceable), if
> the merge result of its nearest versionable ancestor is update, or if it has
> no versionable ancestor, then it is updated to reflect the state of its
> corresponding node. Otherwise, it is left unchanged."
> The algorithm presented in 8.2.10.1 of the specification goes against the
> above statement as it does not take into consideration the merge result of
> the nearest versionable ancestor.
> One solution would be to have the doLeave(n) call that dofail(n, v') calls
> altered to only perform a merge on the versionable children rather than all
> of the children. The merging of all children (versionable and
> non-versionable) should only be done if the nearest parent is not in a failed
> merge state regardless of whether the failure occurred from the current merge
> operation or a previous merge operation.
> I will attach a patch file that makes what I think is the required change.
