Hi Jan, I just watched the video of your talk at racklabs, and when you introduced the idea of revision numbers, you made a remark mentioning revision control. I'm at the very beginning of learning about couchdb. I want to make sure I get this right -- are the revision numbers not meant to be used as a historical index going back to the beginning of time? Are they meant to be used as a way to handle lots of nearly parallel writes? That was a really informative talk, by the way. Matt -- Matt Wilson http://tplus1.com
