You mean [http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/osm/]?

What would be the added value?

Yes, that URL.

When I trace a way and know that it doesn't change height much but my GPS track seems to suggest that it does, then I know that this is not a trustworthy source. I might be able to trace the way nevertheless from the height information.

Another example - the bigger reservoir here is so new that it is not yet on the available aerial imagery:
http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/osm/?zoom=13&lat=6547463.74301&lon=1246247.5092&layers=B00
Another user had traced it for me using TTQV with contour lines (TTQV can even automatic "fill to the same height" apparently).

OK, did not understand that "contour" meant "elevation" and did not notice at first sight.

Thanks very much for this and all the other useful improvements.

One thing though: it looks like you forgot to commit some files, namely the Preferences/TMSPreferences* ones:

$ LANG=C make
make -f Makefile.Debug
make[1]: Entering directory /opt/applications/merkaartor' make[1]: *** No rule to make target Preferences/TMSPreferencesDialog.ui', needed by GeneratedFiles/ui_TMSPreferencesDialog.h'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory /opt/applications/merkaartor'
make: *** [debug] Error 2
