Adam Kocoloski commented on COUCHDB-69:
---------------------------------------

I haven't been paying close enough attention, but I missed the part where _deleted=true revisions were kept in the history.  I assume that's so the deletion replicates to any other servers that are also storing history?

> At the moment, compaction gets rid of all old revisions of a document. Also, replication also deals with the latest revision. It would be nice if it would be possible to specify a list of revisions to keep around that do not get compacted away and replicated.
