[Talk-it] How to rollback the edits a new user made by mistake

[Daniele Romagnoli]

This would be a great improvement.
Somedays ago, a new user was working using potlatch on a small zone to
change some ways and firefox crashed :-(
After a few moments of panic he manually restored a missing way. :-)
He told me that he will always use JOSM :-)

PS: I have nothing against potlatch... I use it with Yahoo aerial image :)
