Duplicates nodes when tagged nodes are disconnected

[brian-luff]

Description

The program creates a duplicate node when a tagged node is detached from a way. This eliminates the history from one of the nodes, which is best retained.

Thanks for flagging - this behavior is kind of expected (the software can't know which of the duplicated nodes the user would want to keep the tags with), but I'm definitely open to changing what Rapid does.
