Dan,
the answer depends on the setting of the
/slide/parameter[ name="auto-version-control"]
in domain.xml. (ref htt
p://jakarta.apache.org/slide/howto-deltav.html)
If you have it disabled, then the only time you get a new
version is when you do a checkout followed by a checkin.
Note that, contrary to what happens in most version-control
systems, in SLIDE locks, and checkouts and checkins, are
distinct operations. i.e. locking something means no-one
else can write to it. Checking out and checking it back in
again means that you are going to create a new version. If
you have the file locked and checked-out, you can do as many
puts as you want. The most recent of these will become the
new version if you do a check-in, or the state of the
resource will roll back to the pre-checked-out version if
you do an uncheckout.
The distinct check-in/check-out model works just fine if you
have a version-aware client, but if you don't you're in a
bit of a bind. Enter the auto-version-control parameter.
With this parameter you can tune how slide treats puts on
checked-in resources. There are a number of different
settings for this parameter, but the one that most people
seem to use is checkout-checkin. When set to this, if you
try and do a put on a non checked-out version controlled
resource, SLIDE will automatically checkout the resource,
and check it back in on your behalf. i.e.each time you do a
put, you will get a new version (providing you have a write
lock for it  .
