Jens Alfke commented on COUCHDB-1824:
-------------------------------------

BTW, this is not at all an "internal detail", it's important for interoperability. Knowing how the replication protocol/algorithm works is crucial for any 3rd party software (like PouchDB / TouchDB / Couchbase Lite) that wants to be able to replicate with CouchDB.

> Though it's in some ways an internal detail, it might be nice to provide a canonical description of CouchDB's replication protocol (algorithm, really) in the documentation. See links at: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Replication#Protocol_Documentation
