[~reschke], I leave this issue open because I did not apply the RDB specific
patch. Please apply if you think it is ready and resolve this issue.

> Right now, the documentmk's version garbage collection runs in several phases.
> It first collects the paths of candidate nodes, and only once this has been
> successfully finished, starts actually deleting nodes.
> This can be a problem when the regularly scheduled garbage collection is
> interrupted during the path collection phase, maybe due to other maintenance
> tasks. On the next run, the number of paths to be collected will be even
> bigger, thus making it even more likely to fail.
> We should think about a change in the logic that would allow the GC to run in
> chunks; maybe by partitioning the path space by top level directory.
