Well, JOSM could use on-disk storage (like SQLite or PostgreSQL), but
that would be a pretty major change. Although perhaps it's easier now
with more encapsulated access to the storage backends.

But a feature like this sounds useful, although personally I just get
into the habit of making very quick and granular uploads.
