Noah Slater commented on COUCHDB-1216:
--------------------------------------
Save makes sense in the context of MVC, and indeed, objects. CouchDB is a
RESTful system that operates on resources and representations. Update makes
more sense in that context.
> Rename _update to _save

> Since an update function can be used to either create or update a document, I
> think it's more appropriate to rename it to _save.
