i don't think we can simply remove this. it will lead to an error 500 if i make my url look like /my//test (see the comment) or anything else not valid in phpcr, like /a:b:c. while i agree that its edge cases, it should still not break as the symfony router or whatever other router comes later in the chain could handle those. and instead of a 500 a weird url should lead to a 404.

the only thing with this exception is that its eating away things we care about while developping, like the repository being down.
