 Make the following work over any base ring:
 {{{
 sage: R.<x> = QQ[[]]
 sage: f = 1/(1-x) - 1; f
 x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + x^7 + x^8 + x^9 + x^10 + x^11 + x^12
 + x^13 + x^14 + x^15 + x^16 + x^17 + x^18 + x^19 + O(x^20)
 sage: g = f.reversion(); g
 x - x^2 + x^3 - x^4 + x^5 - x^6 + x^7 - x^8 + x^9 - x^10 + x^11 - x^12
 + x^13 - x^14 + x^15 - x^16 + x^17 - x^18 + x^19 + O(x^20)
 sage: f(g)
 x + O(x^20)
 }}}

 Matt Bainbridge says about power series reversion, which uses pari in some
 cases, and maybe isn't there in others:
 {{{
 Its easy enough to code this in sage.  This seems to work over any
 field:


 def ps_inverse(f):
    if f.prec() is infinity:
        raise ValueError, "series must have finite precision for
 reversion"
    if f.valuation() != 1:
        raise ValueError, "series must have valuation one for
 reversion"
    t = parent(f).gen()
    a = 1/f.coefficients()[0]
    g = a*t
    for i in range(2, f.prec()):
        g -=  ps_coefficient((f + O(t^(i+1)))(g),i)*a*t^i
    g += O(t^f.prec())
    return g

 def ps_coefficient(f,i):
    if i >= f.prec():
        raise ValueError, "that coefficient is undefined"
    else:
        return f.padded_list(f.prec())[i]
 }}}
