[OSM-talk] Lots of small copies of existing relations

[john whelan]

I'm working with another fairly experienced mapper who uses iD and we have
noticed that some duplicates are happening.  In our case its duplicate
highway nodes, the mapper concerned thought that iD had lost them and
reuploaded them.  Not very helpful but it is an indication of a minor
problem.
