Potlatch's revert/rollback does that, kind of.

If you select a way in Potlatch right now, and press 'H', you'll get  
the history for the way, in a drop-down menu - i.e. who and when.

When the feature is fully enabled, you will then be able to select a  
revision, and click 'Revert'. This will load in the old version of the  
way as a locked way, i.e. one that won't be uploaded back to the  
server until you unlock it.

I'm planning to enable this functionality at the weekend unless anyone  
finds any showstoppers using their local install.
