That would only be possible if the API were to somehow have a 
transaction for open changesets with some kind of isolation so that 
other users wouldn't see the half-committed edits. We don't have that.

If you're editing in a place where you have reason to believe that 
you're not the only one, uploading often isn't too bad a habit - reduces 
the likelihood of conflicts!
