While you can listen for changes, there is no guarantee that the changes feed will represent each atomic change IIRC. It's more so that something did change, not exactly how many times. If you are okay with this, it's likely that you could snapshot documents. More realistically, you'd likely be best off controlling revisions actively during write (rather than passively). For example, you could use an update function to embed a history in the document. Alternatively you could copy the documents or use new IDs. Brian.
