Yes.

There are a large number of situations were depending on

- sequence of edit operations
- intermediate upload and generation of new object ids

you will get different owners of objects.

This is why it is highly likely that split and mergers will not be
taken in to account in any automatic cleaning of the database
on the switch over.

Essentially we will have some symmetrical collateral damage.

But obviously if you mapped the way, you can go back and
fix the problem -now-.

I was looking at the map that showed contributions from those who hadn't agreed to the new terms. One section I found interesting since I knew I'd mapped it first from a GPS trace I'd made but looking through the history I noticed another name before mine who hadn't agreed to the new terms.

I suspect that I'd extended some existing work to save reentering the highway tags etc. and the history on the existing work was carried forward to my new work.

Could anyone confirm my hypothesis?

Thanks John
