Hi,

I'm trying to figure out Versions behavior in Lion especially how (and when) 
"Save a Version" works. I've made a quick simple application with Versions 
enabled that basically just saves and opens text files. I've tried a very 
simple thing:
1. Type a letter
2. Hit "Save a Version"
3. Type another letter
4. Hit "Save a Version".
5. Repeat above many times :)

Now you would think that this would yield as many versions of the file in the 
Versions Browser as you repeated the "Save a Version" (always with changed file 
content), but it doesn't. Only few versions appear even if I hit Save a Version 
many times (always in Edited state).

If you do the very same thing in TextEdit then the Versions Browser will show 
as many file versions as many times you hit "Save a Version". It seems pretty 
odd to me. I couldn't find any direct control over this and hoped that if you 
call updateChangeCount: or register undo (document gets marked as Edited) and 
click "Save a Version" the version will be 100% saved and later can be restored 
from the Versions Browser. Unfortunately that is not true. Is there any way to 
change this behavior and is it indented?

I've also encountered strange problem and get a "There was an error retrieving 
versions for Time Machine" in the Versions Browser even if explicitly saved 
some versions of a file before. Is there any way to debug this problem? The 
only error I was able to find was in the system.log 
"_CSBackupServerProxyCopyDestinationMountPoint returned backupdResultCode: )"

If anyone is interested sample project can be downloaded from
