 Description   

The handling of the content exposed via webdav is highly dependent on the working of the software that in the end uses such as file exposed content.
In general there are 3 scenarios of file handling:

  • rename original file to backup, and store updated content under the original name, but in new file (done e.g. by vi)
  • delete original file and create new file in which the update content is stored (Windows edit)
  • replace content of the file without actually deleting the file (done e.g. by eclipse, cssedit and most of the high-end editors)

The first two scenarios result in loss of meta data. To avoid it, the deleted content would need to stored is some temp storage for while before actual deletion so the meta data can be restored in case the content with same name is recreated via webdav after it has been deleted.

Given the thousands of other issues we have open that are more highly requested, we won't be able to address this issue in the foreseeable future. Instead we will focus on issues with a higher impact, and more votes.
Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. As you are no doubt aware this issue has been on our backlog for some time now with very little movement.
I'm going to close this to set expectations so the issue doesn't stay open for years with few updates. If the issue is still relevant please feel free to reopen it or create a new issue.
