Indeed CouchDB doesn't store all revisions, but:
* it does store the latest few (I think I remember somewhere a
configuration option to keep at least the N last revisions, or?);
* also the compaction can be run only on demand (thus I'm in
control of when old revisions are dropped);
Thus in my case I don't want an arbitrary old revision. I just
want to be able to access the revision which was written before a
certain sequence number, which I can guarantee (through my own
application level code) that won't span more than a few minutes. (Thus
missing revisions from the database is not an issue.)
