There is no propogating history removal command.  You might be able to do it
by checking in a trigger which does it but that's dangerous.

There was such a command at one point but a commercial customer made us take
it out, they felt it was too dangerous to have a mechanism which could 
propogate around and delete history.  It's a call that could go either way
but I think you can see why we agreed with them.
