<p>Force pushed to rebase on master.</p>
<p>Now uses command line option <code>--middle-way-node-index-id-shift</code> instead of the environment variable <code>OSM2PGSQL_WAY_NODE_INDEX_ID_SHIFT</code>.</p>

<p>While the name of the command line option may be an accurate description of what the option does, it is rather unhelpful to the novice user of osm2pgsql...</p>
<p>Wouldn't it be a better idea to call it something like:</p>
<p><strong>--save-node-index-space<br>
--reduced-node-index</strong></p>
<p>or something similar, and then describe in the Help pages what it actually does? Even for the current<br>
<code>--middle-way-node-index-id-shift</code><br>
it will need a decent explanation of what it does and why its useful, at least describing it reduces temporary disk space at the cost of slightly slower imports.</p>
