CouchDB can *only* reclaim space with compaction. There is a setting for limit how much information on old revs is stored: See comments here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2108144/limit-the-number-of-revisions-in-couchdb
Setting this value too low might create problems with replication. You still need to compact to free the space.
