Karl Pauls commented on SLING-8411:
-----------------------------------
[~cziegeler], I agree. Furthermore, I guess there is no problem with waiving
the marker interface requirement at a later point and just start out with it at
this point (to be save). I'll wait until tomorrow and if there are no
objections I'll merge the PR as it is at this point.
> Provide a way to bifurcate a repository path to a provider mount

> While one would normally use a resource provider to extend the content tree,
> sometimes, that can be not enough a code might make assumptions about the
> resources being actually being backed by JCR. This can be problematic as for
> example, a given resource can not necessarily be adapted to a Node nor be
> found via a Session.
> Hence, a similar approach on the JCR level allowing developers to mount
> content into sub trees of the repository itself can be helpful to be able to
> support these kind of usecase. We should provide a hook for a repository
> mount that takes over a given subpath by wrapping repositories returned by
> the base and dispatching to the mount when the request is for a given subpath.
