Hi all,

I'm writing a proof of concept for our organization to use couchdb for our 
content.  Part of the task will be generating document Ids from legacy Ids 
(autonumber integers).    This would be done by simply doing an md5() hash on 
the legacy id.  

Since we're storing the same 32char hex string as our user-provided document 
ids, When CouchDB generates an Id for a new document, will it make sure that ID 
doesn't exist first?  I know the chances of generating the same exact ID are 
slim to none, but the question still remains.
