Hi Jonathan
Thanks for creating this CouchDB CLI tool.When I jump back to Couch work on my
Fabric projects I'll definitely try this out.

I'd love to hear about your experience in this area. This tool is not
(yet) optimized to be a good backup solution, but it's something that
might make good sense in the future. The biggest known limitation is
the inability for the filesystem-based replications to store state
information, so every replication starts "from scratch", rather than
starting from the last sequence id of the source database. If/when this
limitation is resolved, it would be quite simple to do "incremental
backups" from CouchDB to a filesystem.
