This is an easy conclusion to come to. The way I've come to think
about it is that a changeset is merely a grouping of changes, and OSM
has no concept of a commit.

In an .07 (if/whenever that happens), I'd love to see a new concept
called a "transaction", which would be a commit. And then a changeset
might just be a collection of transactions.
