Description

bdelacretaz, just came across the following examples on the documentation page for the Sling RepoInit feature at https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/repository-initialization.html

# restrictions with glob patterns
    allow jcr:addChildNodes on /apps,/content restriction(rep:glob,/cat,/cat/,cat)
    allow jcr:addChildNodes on /apps,/content restriction(rep:glob,cat/,*,*cat)
    allow jcr:addChildNodes on /apps,/content restriction(rep:glob,/cat/*,*/cat,*cat/*)

the rep:glob restriction defined with Jackrabbit Oak is single-valued
while i admit that this could just be viewed as a random, the fact that there is an restriction with the given name, might create a false impression and consumers of the documentation might actually believe this is valid.

i would suggest to either use an arbitrary restriction name or if using rep:glob change the examples such that they would actually work in a setup based on Jackrabbit
