There are versioning extensions to DAV, but they're not supported in all implementations - for example, Apache's mod_dav only supports the distributed authoring methods and that's what I've been testing with. Pushing should work fine to a version-aware DAV server, although the push should fail if the repository files are version-controlled (they don't have to be, and it wouldn't make sense for them to be anyway.) -- For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
