And if it isn't for subversion, it is likely only because the request

hopeless to ask again.
In other words: regardless of what people actually say and do, you're going
to tell us that that feature is #1 on their wishlist. I don't buy this logic.
Believe what you want. I know our repository has clear-text passwords
embedded in scripts that shouldn't have been committed, and also some
large binaries that don't belong. The password business is particularly
bad because we have fisheye doing full-text indexing of all the
revisions which makes them easy to find even when deleted out of recent
versions.
Am I wrong in thinking that similar accidents happen to everyone
eventually and that a feature to fix them would be desirable? There
would actually be two flavors of obliterate that would be useful. One
that simply made specific revs permanently unreadable and another that
frees the space.
