Yes, deleting the current inaccurate way removes it altogether, including
its history.
When pasting features, it goes that way:
- copied ID is negative -> pasted feature is a new one in OSM anyway
- copied ID is positive:
- the ID already exists in the document -> pasted with negative ID,
i.e., new feature
- the ID do not exist in the document -> Feature pasted with original ID
but not tagged as "dirty" -> no upload
- Chris -
Hint: The copied features can be pasted as a valid OSM XML in any text
editor. Similarly, any valid OSM XML copied from a text editor can be pasted
in Merkaartor.
