That's just it, no WebDAV modifications need be done to see calls to
storeRevisionDescriptor and here is a test I just ran to show it.

I used a web browser to hit my slide, logged in as root and navigated to
/files/Matrix and then to /files/Matrix/SalesForce

I went through the logs and storeRevisionDescriptor was called for the
following Uri's:

/
/users
/users/[each and every user]
/roles
/roles/[each and every role]
/Actions
/Actions/[each and every Action]
/files
/history
/workingResource

I verified that all of the xml files from root.def.xml to
workingResource.def.xml had modified dates corresponding to my session
and there were.

I am glad to hear the transient locks are not persisted, it was a guess.

The above test appears to stop hitting and updating these files after
the first pass, but in tracing my own code I have seen
storeRevisionDescriptor being called on nodes not being modified in any
way when other WebDAV methods are running.

So my conclusion is that there is a flaw, storeRevisionDescriptor is
being called when nothing in the descriptor has changed or should change
and that is a waste of cycles at best.

Hi Michael,

which WebDAV methods are being executed when those 
storeRevisionDescriptor calls happen?

Most likely, it won't have anything with to do with transient locks as 
they do not get persisted at all.
