Repository Layout

Home directories are represented in the repository as nodes of type cosmo:homecollection. The account details for the user are stored on the same node as specified by the cosmo:user mixin type.

Home directory nodes are named as per the username of the owning user. They are separated from the workspace root node by two levels of "bucket" nodes (type nt:unstructured). A homedir node is allocated to the bucket nodes named by the first and the first and second characters of the username respectively (example bcm is located in the repository at /b/bc/bcm.

All node names are escaped using the URL hex-escaping scheme. For instance, the node for user b'cm is named b%27cm.
