I have three entities with OneToMany relation. Author -> Book -> BookEdition.

There is no problem to do this:

AuditQuery auditQuery = AuditReaderFactory.get(getCurrentSession()).createQuery().forEntitiesAtRevision(BookEdition.class, 1);
auditQuery
.traverseRelation("book", JoinType.INNER, "book")
.traverseRelation("author", JoinType.INNER, "author").up().up()
.add(AuditEntity.property("author","lastname").like("******"));

List<BookEdition> bookEditions = auditQuery.getResultList();

But when I want to do the same with forRevisionsOfEntity, it is not working.
AuditQuery auditQuery = AuditReaderFactory.get(getCurrentSession()).createQuery().forRevisionsOfEntity(BookEdition.class, false, false);
