@trendoman,
The gen_dump.php utility was designed for automating the migration from development to production during the initial installation. Using it for backup and sync are secondary ideas that piggyback on that process.
I think it's just as easy or even easier to update the database using the export and import functions of phpMyAdmin. I know this isn't a Couch-based solution, but sometimes it's better to just do it yourself. I don't know if Couch can create a cleaner solution. What would you want it do?
