Description

The "Algorithm for Node Name Creation" does not behave as documented here: "http://sling.apache.org/site/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet-servletspost.html#ManipulatingContent-TheSlingPostServlet(servlets.post)-AlgorithmforNodeNameCreation"

It adds numbers to nodenames, even though a ":name" form field is supplied, i.e. it performs both steps one and four, while they are said to happen "otherwise".

Steps to reproduce (this happens also when only the ":name" field gets supplied) - the two last curl commands should make the POST servlet fail:

curl -F"title=NewNode" http://.../content/N
==> Content created /content/N

curl -F"title=UpdateNode" http://.../content/N
==> Content modified /content/N

curl -F"title=NewNode" -F":nameHint=N" http://.../content/*
==> Content created /content/n

curl -F"title=Bug!" -F":name=N" http://.../content/*
==> Content created /content/N_0

curl -F":name=N" http://.../content/*
==> Content created /content/N_1
