Option to restore deleted and modified objects only

[naoliv]

Could we have an option to restore deleted and modified objects only, leaving new objects in place? (ie, all v1 objects shouldn't be deleted while reverting)

Sometimes an user wrongly deletes/modifies a lot of data, but he also inserts some valid objects.
With such option it would be possible to revert the wrong editions and keep the new objects.

As it is now what I have to do:

• revert the changeset
• save the .osm file
• edit it in a file editor
• find every object and remove the <delete> block
• save the file
• reopen in JOSM

If it will be implemented, I think it should Help/ExpertMode option in Help/Menu/OSMLayer

I was actually thinking about another option in the reverter plugin itself:

#12615 should also be another option there.

+1 for another option
