----------------------------------

This issue was closed without a reference to meeting minutes, and the issue seems to be real.
Maybe we can give guidance in the Implementing OData committee note, so I added this as a component.

> A client may want to group multiple data modification operations of a particular entity in a batch request and use ETags.  Currently, the client can use the ETag in the first data modification request but for all subsequent requests in the batch, it would have to use If-Match: *.
> We should allow the If-Match header to reference the ETag that resulted in a previous data modification request in a batch (similar to how we use the Content-ID to refer to the URI of an entity).
