In the lazy clone thread there is mention of a large, generated file
being checked into the tree. Let's say we have a tree like this and it
is ok to delete the generated file since it didn't really need to be
checked in. Is there a procedure to chase down all the revisions,
delete them, and then regenerate the commits to reflect the deletion?
I don't need this tool, I'm just wondering if there is a reasonable
solution to the problem.
