I'm not sure exactly what bzr is going to have (forcing a revision to
become a ghost is a little bit tricky.)

But I just posted a [PLUGIN] to the list (which didn't get any hits),
where I specifically implemented the ability to remove unused revisions
from the store.

The plugin is here:
http://bzr.arbash-meinel.com/plugins/clean-weave/

And the command is 'bzr clean-branch' optionally
'bzr clean-branch --all'
