Thanks for the answer but it is still unclear to me, "A node is never automatically versioned ..." is it also true for nodes that have the mixin 'versionable' ? Is it possible to modify such a node without doing a checkout/checkin ?

My question was more : is it possible to have a versionable node only "versioned" when changing a property and not when adding a node ? A node is never automatically versioned: to create a new version, the application must call checkin. And a node must be checked-out to be modified (= adding/removing child nodes or writing properties).
