[OSM-newbies] Avoiding many changesets

[David Litke]

A have a dozen or so changesets so far, and I realized I forgot to add the source=survey tag to my edits. If I make this single change, I end up with yet another changeset. It seems soon I will have too many changesets to keep track of. Can I avoid this by keeping Potlatch 2 open for a long time while making my original edits (it takes me along time to get everything right)? Or maybe it is better to use JOSM, and save my edits locally until I am finished with an area? If I do this, how long is it reasonable to make local edits before I upload them back to OSM (I am worried about conflicts with other users if I keep a local JOSM editing session going for too long).
