  There is a 2007 and a 2010 version.  The 2007 version has comments infering that this is broken: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.splistitem.updateoverwriteversion(office.12).aspx

  Here's the 2010 reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.splistitem.updateoverwriteversion(office.12).aspx

  Hi Nilesh,

  Use SystemUpdate - Updates the database with changes made to the list item without changing the Modified or Modified By fields. (This includes versions etc..)

  Reference http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.splistitem.systemupdate.aspx

  Nilesh,

  This is expected behaviour and you can not avoid minor version with this method without disabling minor versioning feature.
  SystemUpdate() method should do the trick for you but by default these changes wouldn't be recognized by the crawler. If you want to prevent new versions and have the search crawler pick it up then you probably need to do a full crawl after you make these changes.
   
  Refer following for more detail on suggested solutions:
