batch read depth

[ChadDavis <ch...@gmail.com>]

I'm tuning the performance of my spi/davex remoting, and I'm a bit
unclear about the batch read depth.  What are the units of depth?  Is
it an "item"?  In other words, if I get a node X, do I need a batch
depth of 1 to also retrieve the properties of node X.  Or would a
depth of 1 read all of X's child nodes?

Also, does the depth always start from the node being returned by
node.getNode()?  Or is it relative to the root node of the repo?

0: returns specified node incl. properties and child node names (empty objects)
1: returns specified node incl. properties and child nodes (props and
grand child names)
n: and so forth...
-1: returns entire subtree
