[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-2764) Etag can be made to not reflect content

["Nolan Lawson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2764?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14650472#comment-14650472 ] 

Nolan Lawson commented on COUCHDB-2764:
---------------------------------------

To be fair, this is sort of a PouchDB bug, because we generate revs that aren't deterministic based on the content.

> Is a curl example, basically if you new_edits: false a document you can use whatever data you want and the revision is not determined by its content, which makes can cause bugs if stuff depends on the etag being correct.
> We are hit this a lot in the pouchdb test suite since we delete databases and replicate into them often
