I'm afraid at the moment the only way of doing this is through a patch submittd by Antony Blakey which reintroduces the old transactional behaviour of bulk_docs.
It's been said, but the idea is that you code transactional behavior in your application, using CouchDB for storage and retrieval (with atomic semantics at the document level).
On the bright side, once you get it working, you know you won't have issues when you start using CouchDB clusters.
I like this minimalist design. It reminds me of how Subversion provides transactional semantics on top of key/value database (Berkly the FS). It seems to me that transactional behavior best belongs in a middleware layer like CouchDB-Lounge. I'd love to see some kind of proxy with its own API to implement different transaction patterns.
