[jira] [Commented] (SLING-10986) Sling-Initial-Content overwrite never touches target path but only nodes below

["Konrad Windszus (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-10986?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17456252#comment-17456252 ] 

Konrad Windszus commented on SLING-10986:
-----------------------------------------

Although a change here will in some cases might have an undesired effect (because more node are potentially removed), I would still rather fix the implementation than the documentation, because only clearing the nodes below target is IMHO unintuitive and requires awkward bundle headers e.g. in case you really want to overwrite the path like "/mypath" fully.

> Contrary to the documentation at https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/content-loading-jcr-contentloader.html which states that
> bq. The overwrite directive specifies if content nodes should be overwritten (at the target repository path, which is "/" by default) or just initially added. If this is true, existing nodes are deleted and a new node is created in the same place. 
> only nodes *_below_* the target path are currently touched but never the node at target path.
