Description

As reported by Erick Johnson in the users mailing list, after compaction, the revs_limit parameter is not preserved.

Can easily be tested with:

$ curl -XPUT http://erick:foobar@127.0.0.40:5984/testing-compaction

{"ok":true}

$ curl -XPUT http://erick:foobar@127.0.0.40:5984/testing-compaction/_revs_limit -d "100"

{"ok":true}

$ curl http://erick:foobar@127.0.0.40:5984/testing-compaction/_revs_limit
100
$ curl -XPOST http://erick:foobar@127.0.0.40:5984/testing-compaction/_compact

{"ok":true}

$ curl http://erick:foobar@127.0.0.40:5984/testing-compaction/_revs_limit
1000

The following patch fixes it.
