I fear, your hope is worthless. Sure: After the revert the state of the map (without history) is the same as before the reverted change, but if you revert a deletion the old nodes aren't re-used, but created as new objects. There is no real undeletion in the API, so all revert tools only can revert objects that still exist. Deleted objects are not undeleted, but recreated (see [1] and the explanation for error code 412). regards Peter [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Update:_PUT_.2Fapi.2F0.6.2F.5Bnode.7Cway.7Crelation.5D.2F.23id _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
