So, I must confess that I was not completely upfront in my reply.

I don't have a script which does the work needed to say, remove
evidence of a file's content ever being present in a repository. But
I *do* have a script (begun some time ago, but never finished) which
simply unlinks all revisions of a file from their parent directories.
I never donated said script because it was guaranteed to break
repositories in a particular way (doesn't munge the all-important
'changes' table).

But it's kinda silly to allow you guys to begin work from scratch on a
tool that delves deeply into a knowledge domain in which I am quite
strong when, I believe, the lion's share of the work has already been
done. So while I don't have time to take this script to completion,
hopefully you can pick up where I left off.

Hit me with questions if you need to.
