9370	Additional info for automatically created or deleted ways	chnav		"When ways are split, the parent's way tags are inherited by newly created way. It's become impossible to trace origin of tags - who, when and why assigned them.

I suggest JOSM to automatically add some tag to new ways created during splitting procedure, with reference to the way that had been split and its version.

E.g. we split way #12345678 v4, then we have way #12345678 v5 and newly created way #9876543 v1 let's say with remark ""note:josm=split way #12345678 v4"". Then any user can trace back the history of tags. Even if split procedure continues many times and ""created""-tag is overwritten (or even deleted) in later edits - we can still look at history and easily find original tag's author.


Same situation comes to combining ways. It is always confusing to see in way's history ""deleted"" when it actually has been ""combined"" with another way, and no data lost. I think this type of ""deleting"" shall be marked differently."	enhancement	closed	normal		Core	latest	wontfix	way, split, delete, combine, history
