If it wasn't the default behaviour it would just be far less likely to occur :-)
There was discussion a while ago about creating some form of super bounds element at the top of osm files to indicate which system the data is compatible with (eg. production api versus a dev environment). Perhaps something like that would be more appropriate than resorting to tags on every modified entity? You could get extra funky and generate a unique id for each database upon installation that allows tools to check for compatibility (subversion does this I believe) ... perhaps a simple user entered db name would be more than sufficient. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
