Felix Meschberger commented on JCR-3465:
----------------------------------------

+1 to fixing.

AFAICT from reading the JavaDoc support for "a/b/../../c/d../../e/f" is not implied. In fact I even consider this an unexpected side effect.
                
> JcrUtils.getOrCreateByPath() creates a whole subtree instead of a single branch

> Given a leaf node n,
> JcrUtils.getOrCreateByPath(n, "a/b/../../c/d/../../e/f", false, null, null, true);
> will result in paths a/b, c/d and e/f being added to n where I'd only expect the path e/f.
