This way 2 replications document that differ only on their ID, would share the same replication log _local docs. If both are updating them, we have racing conditions, so one of the replication gen_servers will fail. Remembering now this was the main reason I opted to assign IDs like "_local/repDocId" to the replication logs, breaking backward compatibility.
