I don't think that's the case. Daily diffs contain every single version of an object as long as it has been created/deleted/modified on that particular day. Maybe you're somehow confusing this with the Overpass API augmented diffs, which in fact leave out all 'intermediate' versions. You can easily check this for yourself, see relation id 3227136 or way id 448670397 in: http://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/day/000/001/514.osc.gz I think the only difference with minutely diffs vs. daily diffs is the fix cost associated to transferring a single file. While that's not much of a concern for a single daily diff file, downloading many small minutely diff will for sure accumulate lots of fix cost and make the whole process quite slow. Also, it creates more server load. -- _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
