Nothing amiss (I'm guessing), just some way splitting involved. Way 26468813 may look like a new way, but I'd guess it was actually formed when an older way was split. That'll be where the "history=Retrieved from v4" tag in the first revision comes from. It would be good to agree a tagging system for when a way is split/ joined, to provide some way to reconstruct history in cases like this. As a side-issue, I'm guessing user BeKri used the revert function here to abandon _unsaved_ changes. Nothing really wrong with that, but Potlatch should probably be smart enough not to write a new revision in such cases, even though that's ostensibly what the user has asked for. I'll fix that in a future version. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
