Can Evolve be used to retire or archive an early part of the history?

[BOGGESS Rod TENOVA INC]

We have a baseline copy of our code that is cloned at the start of each project. Modifications typically involve customizations for a given customer, but a few enhancements and bug-fixes go through a review process and are incorporated back into the baseline. As a result, our baseline grows ever longer. So fare, we’re not in any danger of the number of revisions creating a problem, but the likelihood of ever doing a daggy change is as close to zero as to be unworthy of distinction. There is only the historical value for reference that need only be maintained on the server, with no need to carry that history to each developer’s and each customer’s cloned repo. I don’t see an obvious way to mark a part of past history for reference-only though. Marking the past history as obsolete doesn’t seem to work for this case. I was wondering if there were a mechanism that would allow this.
