Osmosis is executed to generate the replication diffs. What is it doing exactly?

Is help.openstreetmap.org really the place for in-depth technical discussions? The answer to this question would have to go into details of PostgreSQL transactions and the like, to a degree where anyone who can understand the answer can also read and understand the source code. IMHO we should keep help.openstreetmap.org end-user facing, not technical-geek-facing.

Where would you draw the border?

Have a look at the first two questions for example: http://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/1 http://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/2

An answer containing the SQL commands would already help, reading a huge bunch of Java source code is too much for me right now.

Careful with the first few questions - they were half-serious and half-just testing the system.

As for whether this is the place for in-depth technical discussion? No, certainly not. But ideally the documentation should exist somewhere, for example the wiki, and then the answer here can simply point towards it and provide a summary. It's not supposed to be that the answers here will be canonical, it's fine to have links for further reading.

I'm interested in the answer as well. How are the transaction-id's taken from?

The replication diffs are created using Osmosis. The option used is '--replicate-apidb'.
