Using JOSM it's a one click.
JOSM show the drawing direction of ways (with arrows when selected or
always depending on settings) and a simple button reverse the selected
way(s).

Potlach has a little icon with an arrow that show he "global direction"
of the selected way and the same icon reverse the way.
Not so easy but not difficult.
