No, my idea was to pass 3 arguments:

 - action (enum)
 - path (string)
 - segment (blob)

action would be typically add/remove

 * add: add node under <path> whose content is in <segment>

 * remove: remove node <path> and all children

(or we could require children removal to be done explicitly).

Cheers,
Ben.
