Yes, but that leaves the uploaded objects marked as modified in the base
layer.  I guess when you then try to upload that you will get a bunch of
conflicts.  Also, there is no way of merging deleted objects.

You could merge those objects before changing them.  After uploading you can
then update the base layer.  That is probably the lesser of two evils.

To have the possibility of uploading selected objects makes things quite a
bit easier for users.
