/**
 * <code>VersionResource</code> is a resource that contains a copy of a particular
 * state of a version-controlled resource. A new version resource is created whenever
 * a checked-out version-controlled resource is checked-in. The server allocates
 * a distinct new URL for each new version, and this URL will never be used to
 * identify any resource other than that version. The content and dead properties
 * of a version never change.
 * <p/>
 * RFC 3253 defines the following required properties for a version resource:
 * <ul>
 * <li>DAV:predecessor-set  (protected)</li>
 * <li>DAV:successor-set  (computed)</li>
 * <li>DAV:checkout-set</li>
 * <li>DAV:version-name</li>
 * <li>DAV:checkout-fork (in-place-checkout or working resource)</li>
 * <li>DAV:checkin-fork (in-place-checkout or working resource)</li>
 * <li>DAV:version-history (version-history)</li>
 * <li>DAV:label-name-set (label)</li>
 * <li>DAV:activity-set (activity)</li>
 * <li>all DeltaV-compliant resource properties.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p/>
 * In addition a version resource must support the following METHODS:
 * <ul>
 * <li>LABEL (label)</li>
 * <li>CHECKOUT (working-resource)</li>
 * <li>all DeltaV-compliant resource METHODS.</li>
 * </ul>
