Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 @azaozz Thanks for the feedback, I will work on addressing these items
 soon. Couple of questions...

 For #4 currently i return the current users 'autosaves' (there is only
 ever one). I can see the use case for wanting all autosaves, then you pass
 author_id to find your own autosave, right?

 For #5 it should return the autosave or an error. Thinking about this
 more, I don't think the autosave controller should update the post, even
 for drafts. the client can decide whether to issue a post update or create
 an autosave based on the post status - this seems like a client
 responsibility.

 In [attachment:43316.5.diff] I added a suite of unit tests matching what
 we have for revisions. I started working on enabling EDITABLE support (so
 you could 'update' an autosave), realizing now we don't have that for
 revisions so going to remove.
