> AbstractSlingRepository#login seems to violate the javax.jcr.Repository spec.
> The API [0] says
> " If credentials is null, it is assumed that authentication is handled by a
> mechanism external to the repository itself (for example, through the JAAS
> framework) and that the repository implementation exists within a context
> (for example, an application server) that allows it to handle authorization
> of the request for access to the specified workspace."
> while the implementation looks like
> {code}
> ...
> if (credentials == null) {
> credentials = getAnonCredentials(this.anonUser);
> }
> ...
> {code}
> [0]
