Newbie question about branching

[P.A. Cadorette]

Hi,

     I'm trying to create branches on versionnable nodes but I can't figure out 
how to make it work.

VersionManager.checkout( node.getPath() );
node.setProperty("blah","blah");
...
Version v = VersionManager.checkin(node.getPath());

//this genearate a new version lets say 1.10
//I'd like to create  1.10.1

I tried to get the checkout the version -- not possible
change property of the frozen node -- not possible

What am I missing?


Thanks

Alexandre
