*nod*. Understood. I was more arguing for allowing no comments than for requiring long detailed ones. This isn't like code, where you're usually going to spend hours on a single commit (and where you can reasonably test your change before you commit it). I usually use Potlatch, and I save very often just to avoid losing my work when my browser crashes or when Potlatch decides to corrupt my edit. As such, I usually don't even know what's in a changeset. The changeset generally isn't at a high enough level to merit a comment. _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
