Benoit Chesneau commented on COUCHDB-441:
-----------------------------------------

Why another url handelr and not reusing _show ? Having all verbs on one place 
would be interresting. I don't have time to test it right now, but I will 
tomottow morning.

> Finally implement pre-write-doc-edit handlers.

> It would be useful for auditing to have the identity of the user who inserted 
> a new revision and the timestamp of the operation to be inserted in the 
> document in the same way that the new revision number is.
> Doing this at the application level is not adequate since it would be readily 
> spoofable and would bypass the authentication handler.
> There is a comment in couch_db:update_docs about generating new revision ids, 
> but I couldn't quite comprehend what specific code was responsible for 
> inserting the id into the document.
