If it is already in the project history then I think it is just fine
to leave them there.  But if you still wanted to remove commits for
some reason then you might convert it to svn first and then use
svndumpfilter to filter them out of the history on the svn repository
side of things.  The result is still an svn repository to be imported.

P.S. Sometimes files need to be removed for license reasons.  Or
sometimes large binary files such as the compiled executables were
committed by mistake and those serve no purpose but do bloat the
repository.  With svn bloat isn't really a problem though.
