I see. Are there planes to add a permant delete feature later on? Not
important, unless of course, the repository size gets out of hand.

One way to clean things up, perhaps, is to check out the entire repository,
delete what needs to be deleted and import again. Is this possible without
loosing revision history? (other than checking out/importing revision by
revision)
