Accordingly to the manual, you can remove revisions that are not 
interesting any more. This will reduce the size of each file and 
consequently of the repository.

If you have tagged all the interesting revisions and are sure that 
won't need anything between them, you can remove all the itermediate 
revisions between two tags.

With regard to the software, cvs itself can do that through it's admin 
command. Check it.

And remember: do backups. :-)
