When you change a node only the node is uploaded to the API and
therefore only the node is part of a changeset regardless whether it
is used by a way or is a member of a relation.  The same is true when
you add an existing node to a way for example.  Then, only the way
itself is changed and not its nodes or relations it is a member of.
