Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-650:
-------------------------------------------
Yeah, the point wasn't to keep up with updates so much as to "just start
listening". As Randall points out the two request does the same thing, but it
seems silly that you can't just attach to the _changes feed and start receiving
updates.
> Add "now" option for ?since parameter on _changes

> As per a discussion on IRC with mikeal, jan_____, whartung, and rnewson:
> Having _changes?since="now" allows clients to listen to only new changes
> without making two requests (one to extract seq from /db, and one _changes).
