Is it possible to delete content in a subversion r

Question

Is it possible to delete a file from subversion repository completely including the history? The problem are illegal files without the needing copyright.

How can I do it?

Answer 1

No, sorry. This is the much planned but not-yet-implemented svn obliterate feature on the mailing list.

The best you can do is to take a complete repository dump with svnadmin dump, filter out the files you want to remove and then svnadmin load it into a clean repository. There is a script svndumpfilter included in the distribution; I don't think that can filter out individual files as-is but it's a good starting point. As far as I remember the script can't cope with --deltas dumps, though, so you might have to stick with --incremental.
