[Talk-GB] Changeset #36985172 revert request - Deal area, Kent

[Colin Smale]

Hi Andy, 

He has responded to the changeset comment. I responded again with a
suggestion for him to join this mailing list... It is obviously a case
of a mistake rather than malicious intent, but the changeset I
originally flagged up has obliterated an entire village from the map,
along with many miles of coastal features, so he is going to need help
to sort this out.

I'm afraid I am not able to do this revert myself - I can undo an
individual change using Potlatch1 but I don't use JOSM and wouldn't know
where to start.

Currently I can see only 2 comments in changeset discussions (saying essentially "you broke stuff and I fixed it"; not offering to help).
