[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

Remove "MERGE", us "BATCH" instead
----------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-23
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-23
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OData Protocol v1.0
            Reporter: Michael Pizzo
            Assignee: Michael Pizzo
            Priority: Minor


the "MERGE" verb was introduced in an early version of OData in order to support updating only the subset of fields specified in an update request. HTTP has since added a "PATCH" verb with the same semantics, and the two are defined as synonyms in [OData-Core]. To avoid creating legacy we should drop the "MERGE" verb from the OASIS specification.
