If you simply want it gone from future revisions then you can simply
delete it and them commit that change.
But since you mention the dump / filter load process - then I assume
that you want to completely remove it from all previous revisions as
well? So that it was as if it was never / ever there to begin with?
And if that is the case, then there is currently no other way to do
what you want.
There has been a long talked about enhancement request, for the
ability "obliterate" an asset from the repository.
It has a kind of, off / on again cycle.
Because it is a significant amount of work that would require changes
to many parts of the application.
Since the project is "pretty much entirely" staffed by volunteers,
then it has never managed to get off the ground.
There has always been a lot of other requirements with a greater "need".
And it has recently been getting some attention in the DEV mailing
list again.
Earlier this year (or perhaps last year) it was started up again by
Lieven and more recently Julian has been doing some work on it.
You can do a search of the dev mailing list online at ;

Search for "obliterate".
