[osmosis-dev] feature request: used-relations

[fin]

Hi there,

i'd like to request a feature: please allow users to _include_
relations which are referenced by relations, much like --used-way and
--used-node filter out ways and nodes that are not referenced.

my use case is simple: i'm trying to extract boundary data for one
admin_level in austria and some of those boundaries reference
subareas:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:boundary

i can't seem to filter them out and i can't have osmosis include them,
so most tools i've tried end up barfing on that data.

including all entities - either by default or as an option, since that
would add complexity & computing time - that are referenced seems like
the most reasonable course of action.

thanks!
