Merge with Osmosis: problem with missing version attribute

Thanks, but this is not the idea. Maybe I should add a bit of context. I'm a hiking guide. Every time I explore a new hike, I want to have a fresh Garmin map for the area. Of course, paths change frequently, but contour lines don't. Thus, the process should look like this:

• I prepare just one time a big osm file with contour lines for the whole mountain area.
• I prepare some scripts to run on the command line (on Windows), where the only parameter I have to change every time is the bounding box related to the small area which includes my new hike. Before every hike, I just want to run the scripts and produce quickly and with a semi-automated process a fresh Garmin map, ready to install. The scripts should do the following, in sequence:

A. launch wget to download an up-to-date osm file related to the small area of my interest B. launch osmconvert to cut the big osm file with the contour lines along the same bounding box C. launch osmosis (or similar) to merge the two osm files D. launch mkgmap to produce the map using a proper style sheet

Point C is where I'm stuck because of the missing Version attributes. All the rest works well.

Thanks

I think you can fake version ids with osmconvert, see --fake-version here http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/osmconvert.1.html

Right, sorry I did not pay enough attention to the stance "command line program under Windows."

I was going to suggest osmium, as I've read it's much more flexible than osmosis, but I don't see any windows version.

As .osm is just xml, I think it should be quite easy to add a dummy Version attribute (put "1" everywhere). I would use sed, but if don't already have cygwin, it will be complicated. But search and replace tools must exists for windows.

You might also find an xml tool for windows commandline.
