[talk-au] Cycling on Victorian paths

[Andrew Harvey]

I guess there would be nearly 0% chance that you would be able to cleanly
revert without dealing with conflicts. It can get complicated when
conflicts are detected by the JOSM reverter, you need to both know about
the OSM data model well (nodes, ways, relations, tags), know about the data
you're reverting and an understanding of the area you're working in so you
can decide how to handle the conflict and what final state you like.

Tony since you know the data and area well, did you want to work on this
together with me? I can help out with any technical roadblocks, maybe on a
screen share?
