Conflict Merging

[Gordon Leland Hempton <gh...@gmail.com>]

Has there been any thought on moving merging conflicts into the actual
couchdb server itself?

It seems like it would be very natural to have a javascript function as part
of the design document which would could contain merging logic for resolving
conflicts.

Are there any projects out there that address this? Currently, my app just
queries a conflict view and merges the conflicts inside the application
logic, but it seems like it would be way cleaner to have couchdb do this
itself.

Taken even a step futher, has anyone dealt with attempting things like
operational transform using couchdb as a backend?

Cheers,
Gordon
