I generally go into the directory I want to clean up and do an ls -l to
determine the date which I did the last update, then do 'ls -l | grep -v
'date'' and move anything that isn't the right date to an Old/ directory.
Periodically I rm -r the Old directory after I'm sure everything is still
working.

Under no circumstances will anything like this be added to mergemaster.
This would be its own tool, if anything.
