Owen,

I think I will not need the old revisions after all. This is because 
what happens with Couch Potato is this:

1) Client 1 reads revision 1 , changes the doc content and saves - 
revision 2 is created
2) Client 2 reads revision 1 in parallel to client 2, changes the 
content and tries to save - Couch Potato raises a conflict exception

So now all client 2 has to do is to read revision 2, resolve the 
conflict between what client 1 wrote (in revision 2) to what it was 
attempting to write and save ( revision 3 will be created).

Thanks for your help

Oren
