You'll want to build your own data structures for revision control.
In CouchDB, the "_rev" (revision) field is only used for multiversion
concurrency control (MVCC). Old revisions of documents are only kept
around until the next compaction and they are never replicated, so we
don't recommend using this for any kind of revision control system and
we advise that you roll your own.
