A race condition (I assume) in sharepoint leads to misleading responces. #160

When using the update command with SharePoint online, SharePoint (and therefore by extension this library) returns a copy of the record. However, SharePoint online often takes longer to update its self then the API call takes to run. This leads to the returned record being out of date and therefore misleading, as it appears an update has failed when in fact it has succeeded.

As noted I think this is an issue with SharePoint online as opposed to this library, however, clarification of this effect may prove useful to other developers (and save them two days work trying to figure out why thing "weren't saving").
