[Talk-ca] Accidentally overwriting existing data: Merge layer vsmerge selection

I've been following the discussion regarding the unfortunate situation with the data in Aylmer, QC.  My sympathies to both Jonathan and the importer.  Sounds like this was a inadvertent accident.  I have to say though, I have caught myself nearly doing the same thing several times as a result of the merge layer vs. merge selection tools in JOSM.  I'd really like to see them modified somehow.

I'd be happy just to be able to turn off merge layers in my copy of JOSM!


Wich such destructive Functions sometimes, there should be a confirmation message that gives you  a last chance to stop the function.

 I agree that it is a frustrating process to loose everything after hours of work because you forgot to save regularly. And you cannot Undo the result of this function.
