Well, if you want this functionality now, you may run this from cronjob:

  axp revlib prune --size 200Mb

(Try "axp revlib prune --help" for more policies.)

Not quite. 2000 files without pristines; you don't need pristine for pure
replay. If I would have pristines, my quota of 5000 files was long over,
because tla has a bug to not advance pristine on either changes or
update, i.e. you may easily end up with many pristines per tree.

Nope, my mailer/procmail is not that brain-dead, one file per one list.
