Edit detail for #121 bogus <code>property change</code> comments revision 1 of 1

Note: property change

changed:
-
Some very aggressive search engines (spiders) seem to be following
form action="xxxx" references in pages as well as the usual href
links. As a result probes by such greedy theives can cause
unexpected changes to wiki web pages. One such example recently
has been the triggering of the 'Change' button on the Issue pages.
The script 'changeIssueProperties' should be more careful not to
record any change if the 'Change' action is triggered with no
actually changes.
