-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Documentation missing view emit _id/_rev tricks for ?include_docs=true details
                 Key: COUCHDB-1850
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1850
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Nathan Vander Wilt


Both the wiki and the official documentation are missing the indirect "join" fetch possible via include_docs when the view emits *another* doc's _id e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/a/6059447/179583, http://stackoverflow.com/a/3035522/179583, http://stackoverflow.com/a/2683228/179583 — apparently this was only in the release notes and/or on the Couchbase blog at one time.


Also the official documentation is missing a complete explanation of this note in the wiki:

"If you want to alleviate [stale view vs database inconsistency] concerns you should emit an object with a _rev attribute as in emit(key, {"_rev": doc._rev})." — http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_view_API#Querying_Options

Will this cause the old rev to be fetched? What if it's no longer available?
