wohali commented on issue #1069: Want to view previous revision content of a document URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton/issues/1069#issuecomment-375040467 @BeatriceThalo what is your intended use of this feature? I am concerned about your reliance on it. The reason for the resistance is that prior "revisions" shouldn't be relied upon to exist at all. This behaviour changed with 2.0. Prior "revisions" exist only as a means to an end - consistent replication. Compaction (and the automatic compaction daemon) or replication can remove them at any time. CouchDB isn't a version control tool; if you need to ensure access to "prior revisions" of a document, you must store them as different documents. I'm pretty sure @janl and I would both be +1 on a button to click that shows all conflicted versions of a document, though.
