zOGI - lightweight response from putObject

Hi,

When an object has considerable version history, it seems excessive that 
putObject should always return such a lengthy response.  Sometimes the 
response is e.g. 170k just to confirm that an object was saved.  The only 
reason I can think for returning the whole object (including it's version 
history) is to enable a client to see that the latest addition to the 
object version conforms to what the client just did.  Would it be a bad 
idea to return just a lightweight confirmation (e.g. objectId, version 
number, last entry from the version history [or even last few entries from 
the version history]? 

As it is, the behaviour makes e.g. batch updating of entities from the 
client unacceptable, principally because of the size and complexity of the 
putObject response.  I'm particularly concerned about this for clients 
working in a WAN environment with (relatively) slow connections.
