You don't need to worry about mergepoints as significant points.

The branch can be smarter - eg. if the entire branch is within the
deleted range (including branches that branch from that branch) then you 
can delete the whole thing.

I'd have the option to remove tags at the same time, so you could do a 
complete deletion of old data...
