Dear Jackrabbit/Oak developers,

to keep this very short: I'm a new Stanford computer science PhD student
working on verification. To get started, I've written a program to
verify the hashCode/equals contract in Java. I let this run on Apache
projects. In Apache Jackrabbit-Oak, in the following class:

https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/blob/trunk/oak-core/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/plugins/document/UpdateOp.java

in the equals method, somebody wrote:
return name.equals(other.name) &&
        revision != null ? revision.equals(other.revision) : other.revision ==
null;

However, the ternary operator has lower precedence than "&&". Therefore,
to maintain the hashCode/equals contract, this should be:
return name.equals(other.name) &&
        (revision != null ? revision.equals(other.revision) : other.revision ==
null);

Could you perhaps get back to me with a very quick acknowledgement if
you think this is sound? I'm going to send my verifier to a conference
on computer aided verification, and bug acknowledgements help a lot to
sell a paper. Thanks a lot in advance for any kind of feedback!

Best regards,
Johannes Birgmeier
