[Helma-user] Extending a mountpoint

[Hannes Wallnoefer]

Hi Tobi,

If you change the content type of a collection, you also have to
redefine the constraints and other properties of the collection. We
don't mix and merge collection properties. To mix and merge as you
suggest would be highly confusing in my opinion, and only work in a
small subset of cases.
