Description

previous versions of Jackrabbit it was possible to specify a fetch depth to also read children of a given node along with the node itself in a single HTTP request. this is very useful to improve the performance.

while the syntax from the previous version of appending a dot separated integer is not ideal, it would be good to retain the feature, for example as a query parameter, f.e.:
/foo?fetch_depth=2
