Robert Newson resolved COUCHDB-1568.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
It's because you're not passing a rev, but it's really because you're updating
a document when you mean to call your update handler.

> update handler on _users always returns 409: update conflict

> Key: COUCHDB-1568
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1568
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.2
> Reporter: Daniel MacDonald
> Priority: Minor
>
> Adding a trivial update handler to separate design doc on _users on my local
> install and attempting to PUT to it always gives me a conflict error. If
> there is an explicit prohibition on the use of _design docs in _users, it
> isn't documented anywhere I could find. I know that _design/auth is always
> overwritten on startup, so I created another document _design/helpers to
> encapsulate some mucking about with roles I wanted to do.
> $ curl -X GET http://admin:pw@proxy.couchdb:5984/_users/_design/helpers
