Thanks! I've been doing a bit of testing with "Expect: 100-continue"
and passing revision id in the header. I was expecting that this would
allow CouchDB to detect conflicts without the client having to send
data. But I'm not seeing much of a difference. Does CouchDB wait for
the client to send the whole document before responding whether there
was a conflict or not?
