ReplaceGeometry on tagged nodes

[nkamapper]

ReplaceGeometry is refusing to merge two ways if one or more node is tagged on the existing way but not on the new way. This is often inconvenient when importing a set of new highways, because the start and end of ways often do not match. To get around the problem, the existing way must be partitioned into smaller pieces, which is meant to ensure that all tagged nodes are taken care of, but this is a very inefficient procedure during a big import. Often, the existing way is just deleted.

It would be good to have a utilsplugin2 parameter which allows two ways to be merged even if there are tagged nodes. A warning could still be displayed so that the tagged nodes could be identified.

I would also be good to have a specific function in the Selection menu which selects tagged nodes in a way, instead of typing the search for "-untagged child selected" (if it is not among the latest stored searches). This would save a lot of time during imports.

Replying to nkamapper:

Please, open a new ticket for this enhancement which could be another action of utilsplugin2, Select tagged way nodes. Or even include memberships, e.g. select way nodes with tag or membership?
