Hi, I posted a message on SO, but here is probably a better place. Here's my 
question regarding handling replication.
I want to be able to prevent a 'push' (or replication) to the central CouchDB 
instance from a user's local instance (where there are many users) if there are 
any conflicts - essentially copying the functionality from something like Git 
or Mercurial, where users have to resolve conflicts on their local copy before 
pushing to the central server (so the server can remain 'clean').
As far as I can see, there are two options; preventing a user from committing 
if there are conflicts (although I can't see any way to do this without 
actually completing the replication), or completing the replication, seeing if 
there are any conflicts, and then deleting the pushed replication (and the 
associated documents) if there are conflicts (though this could also result in 
undesirable behaviour if a pull is completed before the documents are 
re-deleted, as well as being a bit inefficient).
I would like a replication to roll back if there is a conflict, and to inform 
me that a conflict has occurred (I don't care about the nature of the conflict, 
because then I can initiate a pull request replication to replicate the central 
db on the local db).
Thanks, Ian.
