The app does not need to change the rev in the database, just the _rev that is in the PUT or POST data which is about to get send too the database. It already happens when adding attachments to couchdb preventing conflicts. It is only logic it does this for normal updates too when specified explicit in the url ignoring the _rev in the POST or PUT data.
Now I need to parse the json files one by one to change the _rev inside the documents that need to get send.
