16283	post_exists() enhancement - don't include revisions	durin		"The current post_exists() function to me has a major downside.  By default all it does it search for title, content and/or date in the wp_posts table.

The problem with this is that it includes revisions.  So for example if you have a post with title ""ABC"" but then later change it to ""DEF"", post_exists(""ABC"") will still return true with the post ID of the revision.

I would suggest either:

 a) Adding post_status not equal ""inherit"" as a default to the function.

 b) Adding a 4th parameter which allows you to pass the post_status value in.

I would be happy to code this if anyone has any feedback on what would be the best approach."	enhancement	new	normal	Awaiting Review	Administration	3.1	normal		dev-feedback needs-patch	piyushmishra
