Have a “validate baseline” option and report

Proposed change to Browse Repository:

Have a “validate baseline” option and report so that we can find errors that would prevent baseline freeze before we actually attempt to freeze it.

  • I have found the Baseline 2.5 CanBeFrozen API call to be useful for this.  For those unfamiliar with it, "The method executes the same checks as the Freeze method without freezing the baseline or labelling the version objects.". What you get back is a report with headings like:

    ConrefNotResolved

    HyperlinkTargetMissing

    NoVersionSelected

    ObjectNotReleased

    I start running those reports well ahead of an upcoming baseline freeze (we have very big baselines shared by tens of publications).
