Hi Tobias,
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
IMHO it is good behaviour if there is only one versionable node belonging to
that VH
but i am not sure if it is correct to remove all versionable nodes (in all
workspaces)
belonging to that VH (especially if versionable nodes from different
workspaces
have base versions belong to different branches)?
i think we can not to change version history until there are at least one
node connected to it
and remove the version history along with the last versionable connected to
it as you suggest.
make sense?

Subject: Re: Getting VersionHistory after removing of a Node
He may want to purge intermediate work versions of documents between
each release (VersionGistory.removeVersion() is perfect for that), but
also delete a document *and all its past revisions*, due to some legal
requirements. For this last point, it seems JCR lacks a few
functionnalities, as you also point out.
hi cederic,
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. IMO, it is then safe to delete
the version history aswell.
i created a jira issue for this [JCR-134].
cheers, tobi
