Noah Slater commented on COUCHDB-1216:
--------------------------------------

Save makes sense in the context of MVC, and indeed, objects. CouchDB is a RESTful system that operates on resources and representations. Update makes more sense in that context.

> Rename _update to _save

> Since an update function can be used to either create or update a document, I think it's more appropriate to rename it to _save.
