in multi-edit only update inclusions that changed+discussion

tempted to do quick refactoring here.  worth looking at.


This is a trickier issue than I thought. What I thought was happening was that we were re-saving / touching *every* inclusion, regardless of what had changed. That's not the case. Most are not being resaved -- update_attributes is apparently already checking for differences.

In the tests I ran with tickets and User cards, it was almost always *only* the discussion card that was saved unwanted.

Perhaps what's happening is that tinyMCE and our ruby content processing are doing a bit of battle, and as each trims and reformats the text, the content actually is somehow different each time. Maybe?

It might be something like one preferring
and one preferring
. What I don't get is how the ruby conversions are happening *after* the update_attributes comparison... If they're not, then you'd think it would just convert it back to the original data.

At any rate, it's not the easy solution I'd hoped for. Might be worth Lew's two cents, but I think it may be ok to move this off of 1.0.

Looks like this has in fact been done. Am i missing something?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't always work. I don't entirely get the pattern.
