Description
By modifying replace_document to add a document using the given docid, if that docid does not exist, the user can control the docids used by Xapian negating the need to store a unique term with each document. i.e. change replace_document to reflect the behaviour in SQL's REPLACE.
Where this would break (Richard Boulton): "Also, if you combine databases together using Xapian's multidatabase facility, the Xapian docids will change (an interleaving scheme is used to disambiguate document identifiers document), which could break software which relies on the document identifiers being tied more closely to the contents of the document."
