Hi Dave,

I guess its ok.  But maybe code that uses parent_id to traverse a path may end up with a null root rather than the cr root folder.  Although I am not familiar of any, but maybe some oracle code?  Since pg code tend to use the tree_sortkey.  But maybe a oracle code perhaps?

Creating a default root for fs maybe a safer option, but then again a whole lot of work and upgrade script.

Just afraid that making parent_id null may make it semantically incorrect.
