This request sounds very similar to a kind of a "session saver" I thought
about recently.
Personally I prefer doing a series of edits then I upload them in one single
batch - probably because I am too lazy to add comments with every upload.
The other scenario is that e.g. you lose your network connection while
editing and obviously you don't want to lose your edits by closing JOSM
down. It would be really handy to be able to "continue" later on.
A similar third scenario: you are surveying for several days with your
laptop and you don't have network access. You don't want to keep JOSM open
for the entire period of time as you want to shut your system down when not
working to save battery.
By the way, will JOSM detect conflicts when uploading, right?, i.e. when
somebody else has edited the same primitives while being offline.
