This is exactly what I meant. Now, it doesn't mean you _can't_ do this. In fact, some projects have different commit groups for documentation than for code. But in general, it's almost always better to make life simpler and have one commit group. Again, I don't want to tell you how to run CouchDB. I just wanted to give a little friendly insight. --=20 J.
