I guess the important use case here is being able to create diff files between versions of CanVec import (how often does CanVec get updated?). I think it would be useful to include the canvec2osm version in the changeset tags, which I will start doing, but would it also be useful to include the CanVec version? Is the year of import enough to tell which version was used?<br>
<br>I don't think it's neccessary to import each OSM file separately, as long as the themes/features imported is clearly stated in the changeset comment (unless we get automated CanVec diff/merge tools, in which case either tightly regimented tags or theme/feature uploads only will have to be enforced). For the files that get split up due to having (currently) 2000 points, importing each osm file individually would probably actually break any diff tools, since the ordering/position of the split may change.<br>

</div>That should probably be included in the changeset tags, because it<br>
applies equally to everything uploaded as part of the changeset. JOSM<br>
can now edit those tags directly.<br>
