Feature Request: Split large number of edits into smaller changesets

[anonymous]

Uploading large changesets with 500+ edits can make them difficult for other OSM Mappers to review. It would be great if under the advanced tab in the upload window the number of edits to include in one changeset could be limited - similar to how an upload can currently be split into chunks when uploading. An option in the same tab to limit the number of edits in a changeset (thus uploading more than one) would be helpful.

In the advanced tab of the upload window this proposed option would fit well.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea. If changes which belong together are spread over several changesets it is even harder to review or revert the changes.

This would prevent larger edits being tagged as possible imports.

It would prevent changsets being tagged as possible imports. Changesets with 700+ edits are cumbersome to review as it is, an option to reduce their size to something manageable would ease review.

If the maximum changes per changeset would be mandatory/fixed then you couldn't distinguish possible imports from normal edits as all have then e.g. max. 100 changes.
Making the maximum changes per changeset optional makes no sense either, because if mappers are too lazy to upload more often then they are also too lazy to set/adjust the maximum changes per changset-value.

I also see no sense in a technical workaround for a human behaviour. If somebody does large changesets, then they should also be large changesets. Hidding this makes no sense.
