Thomas Mueller updated OAK-3169:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
For versionable nodes, the "rep:VersionablePaths" mixin and the 
"{workspaceName}" property is sometimes not set.

The problem seems to be that VersionablePathHook terminates processing too 
early if it encounters a hidden node:

{noformat}
public boolean childNodeChanged(String name, NodeState before, NodeState after) 
{
    if (NodeStateUtils.isHidden(name)) {
        // stop comparison
        return false;  /// <<<<< bug
    }
    ....
}
{noformat}

Because the method returns false, processing is completely stopped, that 
includes processing of sibling nodes and further processing on any parent node.

The bugfix seems to be "return true" instead of "return false".

Remark: It's quite easy to make this mistake. Maybe we should consider changing 
NodeStateDiff, and get rid of the return value for this method (change all 
methods of NodeStateDiff to void). For the "stop any further processing" case, 
we could use fast exception handling for flow control, for example:

{noformat}
public interface NodeStateDiff {
    // throw this exception to stop any further processing
    Exception STOP_PROCESSING = new Exception();
}
{noformat}

> rep:versionablePaths mixin not always set for versionable nodes
