In the case of these transform tasks you could simply mark the whole file as unsuitable for upload, I couldn't see a case where you'd need to know which entities have been mangled and which haven't. But again, perhaps I just haven't considered a case where it might be useful.
If you do need per-entity flagging then 80n's suggestion of fudging the version id (eg. setting to 0) is worth thinking about. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
