Checkin operation in DFS: cannot create new version without content file?

I have created s DFS (C#) application that performs Checkout for a dm_document; the dm_document has primary content file. Then the application calls Checkin operation without specifying Content in the DataObject object. I though the new version of the dm_document will have no content; but it has primary content file inherited from the previously current version.

I do not need this behavior (BTW, it is not specified in DFS Reference). I want the new version to do not have content. Is there a way to do this (using DFS, not DFC)?

Curious, if you are not updating the content, why are you creating new version (vs object update)?

This is caused by the fact that my application has to synchronize documents between a Documentum Server and another document-management system. After a document in the ‘another document-management system’ is updated, the application has to replicate the update into Documentum – i.e., create new version of the corresponding Documentum document. The ‘another document-management system’, unlike Documentum, allows creating new version without a content file, despite previous version had content file. This is why I am investigating – does such possibility exist in Documentum; and how does it match to Documentum ideology?
