Ok, will add it once confirmed.

http://openstreetmap.pl/balrog/starekurowo.osm.bz2 is the data for the
remaining municipality.  Not conflated because I'd later need to redo
it to avoid conflicts with new edits.

Well I've heard arguments for both ways, but the local consensus is
towards having the source= tags on objects.  Also the fact that you'd
have to split your edits between sources instead of grouping logically
according to your mapping habits makes me think they belong on the
objects (although obviously the value only applies to those edits,
where the source= tag changes its value)

I'm already using building= values if I can derive them from that
info, but the original data doesn't have actual information on the
building's use except if it's a greenhouse, a ruin, a foundation, etc.
 The other tag may tell you whether a given shape is the outline or
the footprint, sometimes other bits not captured by building=*.

Added a description in
https://github.com/balrog-kun/ewmapa2osm/blob/master/shape-utils/merge-building-addrs.py,
good point.
