The reason you can't stop the replication process is because that pid
is supervised and will be restarted in the event of abnormal
termination, even if the HTTP request is canceled.
I agree that it's pretty pointless to keep trying to restart the
replication if the source or target DB does not exist. I can add some
code to short-circuit things and return a sensible error. I wonder if
the policy should be to try to create the target if it does not exist?

OK, this was stupid stupid user error, but interesting in that I
couldn't stop the replication process - I had to go through the
process list and kill each couchdb process.
This occurs if you pull replicate into a db that hasn't been
created. I think the replicate call should fail in that case.

I had a replication that started giving this error. If I kill it
and restart the replication it immediately throws this again and
again i.e. the ability to replicate is permanently hosed.
