It's still simple in Mercurial, but more importantly Mercurial _won't
need it_. Dropping history is a work-around, not a feature.

Side note: this is what Larry thought about BK too. Until three years had
passed, and the ChangeSet file was many megabytes in size. Even slow
growth ends up being big growth in the end..

We had been talking about pruning the BK history as long back as a year 
ago.

Ok, I'll implement it on my red eye flight tonight. But Mercurial
won't suffer from the O(filesize) problem of BK.
