That would be a shallow repository, as is already supported by
"git clone --depth 100". It can be useful for a number of things,
for example developing simple patches on top of HEAD and sending
them somewhere.
What the OP might want is a way to convert a full repository into
a shallow one (can be done by cloning and deleting the original),
and then be able to make it shallower from time to time, to limit
it to 100 revisions; not sure if that is possible.
