[OSM-dev] New proposed directory layout for planet.openstreetmap.org

[Martijn van Exel]

Agreed, but most of what you would want to do with grep is possible
with other tools like osmosis, osmconvert and osmfilter that work much
faster on pbf and o5m files.
Also, how much is a 500GB (or however big it is unpacked) human
readable file really worth?
