Deleting accidental commits to repository
I have a developer who accidently committed 50 mb of files into my repo.
I did not notice until a couple of weeks later.
[q] Is there a command for removing files committed to the repository?
Thanks,
Tim

There's no date attached, we just know we'd like it someday. It's
hard to implement, and surprisingly not trivial to specify exactly
what the feature looks like, so there's some design phase needed too.

Not yet. The only way to lose history is to 'svnadmin dump', run it
through svndumpfilter, then recreate a new repository with 'svnadmin
load'.

Darn. Unfortunately this checkin nearly doubled the size of my repo.
I am also looking into using svn as a backbone for some business apps
but need the ability to clear history completely.
[q] Is the `svn obliterate` command on the project timelines.

Just 'svn remove', but the files will still be in the history.
The hypothetical 'svn obliterate' does not exist yet.
