unless there is a really compelling reason i would strongly discourage to
manipulate meta data directly and rather use the appropriate api methods.
after all there's a reason why the meta data is 'protected'.
I think Frederique's concern is valid, there needs to be a way to
restore not only current versions but also the version histories of
nodes from a backup. This is the key reason for extending the
WorkspaceImporter functionality to meet the needs of Nicolas' backup
tool.
The checkin/checkout methods are not expressive enough to fully
restore the version history of a node. For example there is no way to
control the jcr:created timestamps of the checked in versions.
