Hello Neo4j Users,

his is a newbie question.
I have a tree that could be thought of as a filesystem tree, i.e:

/
/dir1
/dir1/dir11
/dir1/dir12
...
/dir2
/dir2/dir21
/dir2/dir22
....
with possibly long paths

As far as I understand a Tree is a particular case of a graph.
Each node has a NodeID (like a Inode in a unix filesystem) and a Name 
(as metadata, which can be non ASCII)

Common operations will be:
give me the node ID based on the node path
/dir1/dir12/dir123/dir1231

I guess there one could implement a traverser class to navigate to the 
node at the end of the path based on names lookup, but it seems not very 
natural when looking at the neo4j api. It seems  the API is more 
designed to get whole tress or first neighbours.

Also the data will be mutable, i.e. a path

/dir1/dir12/dir123/dir1231

could be renamed into:


/dir2/dir12/dir123/dir1231

Thanks in advance

TuX
