Pruning a repository

From: Edmund Lian <elian_at_inbrief.net>

Is there a way to prune a repository of revisions older than a certain date
(or revision number)? For example, if I'm absolutely certain that I don't
care to see anything earlier than revision 200, is there a way to purge the
repository of anything prior to rev 200?

In general, how should one manage a repository? The reason for my asking is
that I have a project that grew from 0 lines of code to some 26 Mb, but I
don't really care to have access to the earliest incarnations of code since
they bear no resemblance to the current code. Hot backups of the repository
yield 400+ Mb backups, which really chews up disk space if I have nightly
backups and keep anything more than just a few copies. This is just awful,
hence the desire to remove garbage from the repository...

...Edmund.
