Deleting an artifact from the repository permanently
In the past we've had trouble with SVN because it's extremely difficult to remove items from the repository that we no longer want in source control taking up disk space.
Example: a user accidentally commits a several GB disk image from an installer into source control, or we wish to archive an old project and dump its change history (or at least move it to a separate tape backup off the main CM server).
How does Jazz address this problem? Can you delete changesets permanently, or move old changesets/development lines/whatever to a separate archival server?

We do not support deleting versionables, change sets or components yet.
