Which is thoughtful, but does *NOT* get old versions of the
file out of the repository. Unfortunately, that's been
requested before, and has never gotten into working code that
I can find. The idea is called "obliterate", and it goes
against the basic design ideas of the creators of Subvresion:
a source control is supposed to keep all your source, not
allow obliteration whether accidental or deliberate by users.

Users, no; administrators, yes.  At the time Perforce added this it was, if I 
recall correctly, their number one feature request.

And if it isn't for subversion, it is likely only because the request has been ignored and put off for so long that everything thinks it is hopeless to ask again.
