Take a look at the actual RFC 2616 that enumerates HTTP response codes.

They have two specific recommendations:

  • If the entity being PUT included changes to a resource which conflict with those made by an earlier (third-party) request, return 409 Conflict, with a list of the differences between the two versions in the response body

  • Return 400 Bad Request for an otherwise unsuccessful PUT, with an explanation of why it failed (in plain old English) in the response body
