In Potlatch you can enter edit mode with a particular feature already  
selected. We do this with OSM Mapper and it works very well and  
Geofabrik do it as well. You should add this to Keep Right.

For example
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lon=8.10411&lat=51.05425&zoom=18&way=29411858

There is also a way to do this with JOSM as long as it is already  
running.
