Robert Newson resolved COUCHDB-1511.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 1.3
The user will now receive a message stating that "doc.roles must exist" if it
is not defined. This, in addition to the existing test that it must be an
array, should fix the issue.
> Error message provides no help: Uncaught server error: {case_clause,{[]}}

>
> When PUTing a _users doc, if you forget the `roles:[]` field, you get this
> error, which doesn't help figure out the problem at all.
> Suggestion:
> 1. _users docs should get a role:[] and type:"user" by default if these
> fields are missing.
> 2. If there is an error in the _users doc, it should say "Invalid user
> document", or something else indicating that the problem happened because the
> data was bad (and not, say, because the server is crashing or views are
> messed up, or whatever else can happen in this crazy world.)
