Is the repository used only by one shell ?
And if yes, you wish to complete wipe the whole repository ?
Then the easiest way would be to simply delete the repository's directory.

Can you tell us a bit more about how you wish to organize this ?
From my POV I would 'teacup create' two repositories 'STABLE' and
'UNSTABLE'.
Then use 'teacup link make' to give the different tclsh's for testing,
production, research access to their specific repository.
To move the current unstable to stable
rm -rf STABLE
cp -rf UNSTABLE STABLE
teacup link cut/make to fix the repo/shell connections.
(As the copied STABLE talks to the tclsh's for unstable0/
This works because the paths inside of the repository are relative, so the
repository will work in whatever location it is.
Is that what you were looking for ?
