Added a delete-revision command in patch-537 which removes a patch, but doesn't change history except by rewriting the patch log.

There is now just a delete-branch command. For deleting revisions, we could have it delete the contents of the directory, but not the directory itself. Then you could tag off of an older revision.

patch-481 implements deleting of generalized branching. Still no delete-revision.

delete-branch has also been available for a while. delete-version will not appear, since versions will be going away (#4810).

Actually, delete-branch already exists, so all that is left is delete-version and delete-revision.

There is an undocumented way to remove categories
(delete-category), but not for branches, versions and
revisions. Branches could be handled the same way as
categories. Versions and revisions have lock files which make things complicated. It also gets complicated because you can then "change the past", so people will try to go back to get patches that are different from what they used to be.
