[OSM-talk] Offline editing during downtime

[MP]

I don't think that is so easy. To avoid conflicts, when replacing
node/way/relation that is on server with newer version, server sends
internal ID/revision number of the way and you have to pass this back
(so two people won't overwrite the same way with their version and
"last upload wins" - in 0.6, first one upload, second one gets a
conflict and will have to resolve it first before being able to
upload)

You will have to add these revision numbers to all objects for upload
to work, changing 0.5. to 0.6 won't do it ...
