What happens if I use Osmosis to apply a set of changes that are older
than the planet file to the planet file? Does Osmosis look at the
timestamps and ignore them or does it create a mess?

Is it possible to get the timestamp of the planet file in any compressed
format without decompressing?

Thanks Peter for the pointer to the utility.
