Note that deleter-fb already modifies commit messages to mention that things
were removed. Apart from being a good idea, sysadmins also wouldn't *let* us
push a repository if they knew for a fact that we messed with history and
didn't leave information about it. I have relevant IRC logs handy :)
However, I agree with your idea of also replacing the actual files with a
text file pointing to SVN, and not only touching the commit message.
