Quick question related to this: how does this work when a folder is deleted and then a file is created with the same name?
Suppose I delete a folder, then decide I want to list the files it used to contain. Retrieving its metadata with list=true and include_deleted=true will give me the list of all files and folders that were formerly under that path. But, if I then create a file with the same name as the deleted folder, retrieving its metadata will only give me the metadata of that new file. I can't call /metadata with the former folder's rev, because revs aren't allowed.
My guess is that I'd have to delete the file, manually create a new folder at its path, and then call /metadata with list and include_deleted, do whatever I wanted to do with the result, then delete the folder again and restore the file I deleted with a /restore call. Is that right?
