That in itself is (almost) easy enough... :)

WinCvs: Get the graph, and use the commands "select non-significant" and
"delete revisions" (only one file at a time, and could be slow, as it
deletes one revision at a time repeatedly for all selected revisions)

Command line: try "cvs admin -o ::HEAD <file>" (need to be cvs admin, I
think) (probably can be run on a whole subtree, but I'm not sure)

However, you need to repeat that regularly, as both only delete the history
that exists at that point; it does not mark the file for not accumulating
history.
