Saving a page without making any changes should not create a new revision. #1495

Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @Rumcajsev on GitHub (Jan 15, 2020).
Describe the feature you'd like
Currently if I edit a page and save it without making any changes a new revision is created.
I think that such action shouldn't create a new revision.
Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
This change would make it easier to keep the page versions tidy. Currently I have to manually remove any 'empty' revisions which is time consuming and it's easy to make a mistake and delete the wrong one.
Thanks to this change in the revisions page users would only see actual changes made.
Another solution for this could be somehow marking the 'empty' revisions on the revision page.

Why not just hit the back button instead of the save button? If you have made changes, it will prompt you before actually going back.

Thanks for reporting @Rumcajsev.
There were some checks in place to prevent unrequired revisions but they were not working as intended. This has now been patched in
5323cb5224, to be part of the next feature release.
