Thanks for your response. I think the area in question is under control
now. The validation errors I found were for a road that was duplicated
between my work and the previous stuff. But once I fixed that and maybe
one or two other things the sector was clean. Someone seems to have
backed out most of my overlaid entries already -- I'm not sure.
Anyway, how it happened: I click on the JOSM button and nothing happens
in JOSM. The web page shows a link to a .osm file, so I do an Open
Location in the JOSM file menu using that link and get the task square
in JOSM. That first task, I started mapping from there. Naturally I got
a big warning when I tried to upload (I don't understnad the details),
but I had invested an hour or two of work at that point and didn't want
to throw it away.
I hadn't looked at the existing Homs map before I started, or I would
have realized that there was already data to be had. I found that out
when I brought up the map to check out the results of my work. As a
result, for the subsequent tasks, I imported the .osm file as above, but
then proceeded to download from OSM in the JOSM File menu as usual,
using the task square already there. That worked. The downloaded data
came in a new layer (plus the GPS trace layer).
I'm sorry to cause extra effort on someone else's part -- probably the
very hard-working Divjo.

If it is a problem with the data, that you created duplicates, it is
possible to import the data again in JOSM and look at any problem. I
did it simply for the changeset ID is 14888633. I browsed this
changeset : http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/14888633
Under the image of the zone edited, I selected to edit the zone with
JOSM. This imported the data in JOSM for validation. I see that some
orphan electric poles without any line connecting them. You can
simply correct this by adding the line and saving your result to the
OSM database.
So I am at your first question were I dont understand what you are
trying to do. Are you asking to revert the changeset to comeback to
the situation before you saved the result into the OSM database? How
do I back out a change? I dont think that you want to revert your
changeset since no data was erased. Since you only added data, it is
easy to correct by importing again the zone and correct what was
done.

How do I back out a change? I picked up three tasks for Homs. On
the first one, not understanding the tools properly, I failed to
download existing data from the map and hence ended up duplicating
it in spots. Someone may have come in after me, so I suppose the
choices are to back out my changes with some risk, or go in and
clean it up detail by detail. I'm quite willing to do the latter --
I started to do so with the help of the JOSM validation tool, but
wondered if a complete back-out would be better.
The changeset ID is 14888633.
