Jan Lehnardt closed COUCHDB-511.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Retrieving old revs is a feature that is for internal use only (e.g. the
replicator uses it). Applications should not use it. Improving usability will
send the wrong message :) This might change when we get to support for
persistent history, but we have a ticket for that already.
> Revision referencing via something like Git's RefLog Shortnames

> Key: COUCHDB-511
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-511
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Reporter: Benjamin Young
> Priority: Minor
>
> Accessing earlier revisions isn't hard, but it would be very handy to
> reference them via a short hand notation similar to Git's RefLog Shortnames.
> Perhaps something very similar:
> http://localhost:5984/db/doc?rev=^
> - this would get the previous revision
> http://localhost:5984/db/doc?rev=^3
> - this would get the revision 3 submissions ago
> Just an idea.
