Feature Proposal: Save further save options for better handling of topics

Motivation

The "Quitesave" respective the "don´t notify" concept is not well integrated in the TWiki infrastructure. Till example the DBCachePlugin could not make use of it, as "don´t notify" is only available through logfiles and .changes . MichaelDaum has a replacement for WebChanges which is fast and would make things more generic. At least the feature would make bin/changes script and .changes file obsolete.

Description

Make save options like "don´t notify" available as metadata to make use of it within the TWiki-infrastructure

At the moment WebChanges based on search and the changes script based on .changes exists.

Impact and Available Solutions

Note: Patch is attached as https://twiki.org/p/pub/Codev/PersistentSaveOpts/twiki-foo-bar-patch.diff. The patch is against the TWikiAlphaRelease of 15 Feb 2004.

Documentation

A "normal" save behaves always dominant to "minor" saves (quiet-save and checkpoint-save).

Examples

It should be possible to list

1. recent changes (aka changes-bin); minor changes excluded
2. detailed changes (aka WebChanges); minor changes included

Implementation

A possible solution would be, to integrate informations for "minor-edits" into normal TOPICINFO: META:TOPICINFO{author="TWikiContributor" date="1120846368" format="1.1" version="$Rev: 7463 $" minorauthor="$username" minordate="1120846368"}
