+#!/bin/bash

+# Run a diff between a couch document specified as the first parameter
+# and the second parameter.
+# Diff returns 0 if there is no difference. This way you can tell the data
+# is already on the couch.
+# Both the couch document and the second paramter will be pretty printed
+# before comparison so differences in spaces etc. do not matter.
+# All keys starting with an underscore on the couch such as _id and _rev
+# will be removed before the comparison - we assume we want to compare
+# the real data, not the metadata about the document as we usually do not
+# know or care about what the id and revision will be.
