Description

In CouchDB 1.3.0, couch_db_updater:start_copy_compact/1 attempts to open an existing database compaction file before creating a new one, but it still logs an error for not finding the existing file:

[Tue, 14 May 2013 23:56:16 GMT] [error] [<0.22035.2>] Could not open file /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb/test.couch.compact: no such file or directory

The initial couch_file:open should pass in the 'nologifmissing' option to silence this unnecessary message.
