------------------------------------
The VH need only to be kept when there are remaining Version attached to it.
In many apps, it would be great to get rid of empty VH (ie no more Version, and
no more Node referencing it).
This doesn't seem right to me. Kind of defeats the purpose of
Versioning if we start removing deleted items, deleted is just another
state in the history that should be tracked and preserved.
Unreferenced VersionHistory should be deleted automatically.

Key: JCR-134
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-134
Project: Jackrabbit
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: versioning
Reporter: Tobias Bocanegra
Assigned To: Tobias Bocanegra
Priority: Minor
since the creation of a VersionHistory is triggered by the creation of a
mix:versionable node, the removal should happen automatically, as soon as no
references to that version histroy exist anymore. this is the case, when all
mix:versionable nodes (in all workspaces) belonging to that VH are deleted, and
all the versions in the VH are removed i.e. only the jcr:rootVersion is left.
At this point, the VH should be deleted aswell.
