"should deep save and update nested objects" test failing

see parse-community/Parse-SDK-JS#89

but is still failing.

I started to investigate this. I was able to prove that there was an issue by running the test code against an actual parse backend. I could confirm that after saving the brand using mockdb, the items array is an array of pointers, but when saving against a parse backend, the items array is an array of items.

I tried some debug printing in the parse code to see if i could figure out where the two diverged. I didn't get very far.

Good practice for understanding the internals of parse a bit, I guess :)

I added some console.logs to ParseObject.js in the _handleSaveResponse function (line 392 in my lib).

      var pending = stateController.popPendingState(this._getStateIdentifier());
      console.log(pending);
      console.log(response);
      console.log(status);
      for (attr in pending) {

when running the test with mockdb, the output:

{ price: SetOp { _value: 30 },
  country_code: SetOp { _value: 'US' } }
{ price: 30,
  country_code: 'US',
  objectId: '1',
  createdAt: '2016-07-07T12:49:55.230Z' }
200
{ name: SetOp { _value: 'Acme' },
  country: SetOp { _value: 'US' },
  items: SetOp { _value: [ [Object] ] } }
{ items: [ { __type: 'Pointer', className: 'Item', objectId: '1' } ],
  name: 'Acme',
  country: 'US',
  objectId: '2',
  createdAt: '2016-07-07T12:49:55.243Z' }
201

when running against a real parse backend:

{ price: SetOp { _value: 30 },
  country_code: SetOp { _value: 'US' } }
{ createdAt: '2016-07-07T12:50:30.987Z',
  objectId: 'zSfvJnEwPc' }
200
{ name: SetOp { _value: 'Acme' },
  country: SetOp { _value: 'US' },
  items: SetOp { _value: [ [Object] ] } }
{ createdAt: '2016-07-07T12:50:31.191Z',
  objectId: '5HarZcu8Ug' }
201

So maybe there is something downstream of this that makes a decision based on what the object look like, but I more or less lose the path here. Will pick back up again.....
