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

                 Key: CMIS-627
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/CMIS-627
             Project: OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: REST/AtomPub Binding
    Affects Versions: Committee Draft 06
         Environment: all
            Reporter: Jay Brown
            Assignee: Al Brown
            Priority: Minor


In the trivial case where a checkin does not need to update any properties it should be possible to do a checkin by executing a PUT to the PWC URL with ?checkin=true and no xml payload transmitted.   We are currently supporting this but the spec is unclear if in this situation an empty entry type should be transmitted - which would seem unnecessary.
