[josm-dev] JOSM, the relation killer

[Apollinaris Schoell]

had the same problems but seen it before upload. at that time conflict
resolution had other bugs too and I didn't spend time to analyze and just
went back and did my edits again.
If I remember correct it was that by default all members are removed in the
conflict dialog and you have to explicitly choose yours or the one from the
server and put it back. Just clicking on ok and all members are dropped.
