> It was mentioned on IRC that if someone restores a database without restoring
> a view then there's nothing that detects if the view is still valid. Ie, it
> may reflect an update_seq that the restoration lost.
> In the check for kicking off a view update we should check if there is an
> incompatibility between what's been calculated in the view vs what the db
> update sequence is at. The current logic will just ignore and return the
> invalid view data (because of how stale=ok works which is good).
> Should be an easy bug to fix if anyone's interested. The code should be
> pretty contained to couch_view.erl and couch_view_group.erl
