How about changing the logic in geometry checker? Instead of saving
changes any time user chooses an action, one could just keep a buffer
of changes and then commit everything at once when the user is done
fixing things... That would be also more efficient and it seems like
an easier solution than adding workarounds to data provider interface
for one particular format.
