> The current attachment information looks like this:
> GET /dbname/docid
> "_attachments": {
>       "jquery-1.4.1.min.js": {
>           "content_type": "text/javascript"
>           "revpos": 138
>           "length": 70844
>           "stub": true
>       }
> }
> If a client wanted to sync local files as attachments with a document it would not currently be able to do so without keeping a local store of the revpos. If this information included an md5 hash of the attachment clients could compare it against a hash of the local file to see if they match.
