Description

ChangeSetFilterImpl.doExcludes(ChangeSet) currently returns quickly with false when the ChangeSet reached maxPathDepth. The default maxPathDepth is 9 and some applications may hit this limit quite frequently. E.g. Apache Sling's job implementation stores frequently modified job data further down the hierarchy.

A quick win in this case might be to at least check the first level path include names.
