This is definitely not true. For example, I can get the database into a
state where there are three conflicting versions, and the winning version
is the middle one returned by open_revs=all

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/conflict_test/test?conflicts=true
{"_id":"test","_rev":"10-ca7d1f8bc31d20ad4898e4024547c4c6","hello":"baz","_conflicts":["9-9b4928288c4fc3087833549752bdcdc3","9-2438fa9601119c8fe2c0b2f4a688f65f"]}
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/conflict_test/test?open_revs=all
[{"ok":{"_id":"test","_rev":"9-2438fa9601119c8fe2c0b2f4a688f65f","hello":"bar"}},
{"ok":{"_id":"test","_rev":"10-ca7d1f8bc31d20ad4898e4024547c4c6","hello":"baz"}},
{"ok":{"_id":"test","_rev":"9-9b4928288c4fc3087833549752bdcdc3","hello":"foo"}}]

Code to do this is attached.

Brian.

Re: What happens with a document, if a conflict is not resolved?

Please feel free to help make this better. All the information you  
want is available on the erlang side, it just sounds like you need it  
exposed in a slightly different way. At the very least write up a  
proposal of how the API should work and file a bug report. Even better  
is to provide a patch in the same bug.
