Description

As recently posted to the development mailing:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-dev/201101.mbox/%3CAANLkTi=NOsVDRUdYHiUGxQCjDXTNGNMOhPm9Bx=[e-mail]%3E

( shortened URL http://s.apache.org/KsY )

There's a new replicator implementation. I won't explain here all the details since it's already done by that mail sent to the development list.

@Adam, do you think you can give it a review?

Would be equally happy if others are able and willing to review and test as well.

Also take note that some pull replications of databases with attachments created by prior CouchDB releases (including 1.0.1, but excluding the soon to be released 1.0.2) may hang forever. This is fixed by applying the patch for COUCHDB-1022 to the source server.
