A collection version does not have enough information in it to produce a=20
sensible copy, since it only records the version history of its members,=20
not the versions.  So a collection version is useful for updating a=20
configuration, but is not useful for creating a new configuration (that's=20
what baselines are for).

Geoff

&gt; Hi,<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Why should the request fail if the source is a collection version?<br>
&gt; It seems to me that any version is as good as the checked-in version<b=

&gt; to copy from.<br>
