Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-67:
---------------------------------------
Being able to identify particular databases (and views indexes) in the
filesystem is very handy when I'm doing backups, watching view-generation
progress, or moving data across machines - the hash approach wouldn't make this
impossible, but it would add an extra non-obvious step.
Unless there's a compelling case for allowing wide choice of database and view
names, I'd prefer to have a transparent mapping between the filesystem and
CouchDB's interface.
