Can anyone confirm if or add some insight to why versioning is broken? Since Jan. 06 (v3.1.1), there's been an unassigned issue HHH-1401 saying that versions are updated unnecessarily on merge. At least three other issues have been added with similar problems for delete and in general with PersistentSets. I just reconfirmed the failing testcase from 1401 for r10347. What's the story?? ~Josh The Openmicroscopy Environment ---[links]--- http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1401 http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1564 http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1660 http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1668
