[Opensim-dev] Detaching mesh objects causes the region set send full asset data -- including geometry -- to the asset server

[Mike Chase]

I don't get this. I thought assets were immutable.  Why would you ever
update an asset.  Contents yes I can see that but not the asset itself.  I
suppose that's the bug?

And the answer is: NO.

That should NEVER happen. It's a BIG hairy-legged bug!
