Why would you like to remove things ? Do you have problems with the
repository ? Only 12 Gb ? I have repositories which 30-40 GB ...

If you really like to do this simply do a check via svn log and see
which revision is older than six months and remove the contents in the
dump file....

You have to use the --force-uuid in the new repository....
But this is only the first part of the plan, cause you'll change the
highest revision number....and that's the problem here...
Kind regards
