Paul Joseph Davis closed COUCHDB-441.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Fix Version/s: 0.10
Assignee: Paul Joseph Davis
Inserting timestamps automagically would be bad because it would limit a whole
swath of use cases. Probably the same for user id.
The feature you're wanting is the end point that allows a JavaScript function
to mutate incoming docs before they're written to the DB. If there isn't a
ticket for that yet please create one so that it stares at us like a lost puppy
and it'll be gotten to.

> It would be useful for auditing to have the identity of the user who inserted
> a new revision and the timestamp of the operation to be inserted in the
> document in the same way that the new revision number is.
> Doing this at the application level is not adequate since it would be readily
> spoofable and would bypass the authentication handler.
> There is a comment in couch_db:update_docs about generating new revision ids,
> but I couldn't quite comprehend what specific code was responsible for
> inserting the id into the document.
