+Change: use /home as default namespace
+
+Currently, cross storage etag propagation is not yet implemented, which prevents the desktop client from detecting changes via the PROPFIND to /. / is managed by the root storage provider which is independend of the home and oc storage providers. If a file changes in /home/foo, the etag change will only be propagated to the root of the home storage provider.
+
+This change jails users into the `/home` namespace, and allows configuring the namespace to use for the two webdav endpoints using the new environment variable `WEBDAV_NAMESPACE_JAIL` which affects both endpoints `/dav/files` and `/webdav`.
+
+This will allow us to focus on getting a single storage driver like eos or owncloud tested and better resembles what owncloud 10 does.
+
+To get back the global namespace, which ultimately is the goal, just set the above environment variable to `/`.
