Hi,
If we allow using a trailing '/' somebody might think that it is always fine to
have it, but for example create can have different meanings if the path has a
trailing '/' or not:
zk.create("/test", null, Ids.OPEN_ACL_UNSAFE, CreateMode.PERSISTENT_SEQUENTIAL)
-> creates /test0000000000
zk.create("/test/", null, Ids.OPEN_ACL_UNSAFE,
CreateMode.PERSISTENT_SEQUENTIAL) -> creates /test/0000000000
If we still allow it documenting this clearly might be enough, I don't know.
