You can just remove the s.files that you don't want but then bk check will
complain.  You can make check not complain by doing this

	bk -r check -ag | bk gone -
	bk commit -y'mark files as gone'

You could, if you really wanted, make that removal propogate doing something
like this:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Note: This is untested, try it out in a clone and make sure it works
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

	bk -r check -ag > ROOTKEYS
	bk gone - < ROOTKEYS

	ed BitKeeper/triggers/post-incoming-rmfiles
	a
	#!/bin/sh -x

	cat > /tmp/keys$$ <<EOF
	.
	$r ROOTKEYS
	$a
	EOF
	while read key
	do	rm -f `bk -r prs -hr1.0 -nd'$if(:ROOTKEY:='$key'){:SFILE:}'`
	done < /tmp/keys$$
	.
	w
	q
	chmod +x BitKeeper/triggers/post-incoming-rmfiles
	bk new BitKeeper/triggers/post-incoming-rmfiles
	bk commit -y'Remove files and force their removal everywhere'
