Are there instructions somewhere for this?
How do I delete old versions of my application from my Subversion repository?

I'm starting to run out of space and need to delete some of my older revisions. I tried looking through the SVN documentation, but I couldn't find clear instructions.

You may need to run a cronjob to delete the directories that are older than what is required using a bash script.
for eg: the command below would delete directories older than "X" days.
find /home/user/<revision_direcory>/ -mtime +X -type d | xargs rm -rf
replace "x" with your preferred date.

It's my understanding that this can also be handled through capistrano. Can you recommend the best approach for removing old versions using capistrano?

You can just add the rm commands in your Capfile restart task.
I know there is also a deploy.rb line that limits the number of releases, I can't seem to find via Google at the moment but I'll keep looking...

I did some googling and came up with this:
Put this line in your deploy.rb:
set :keep_releases, 4
Change the last number to how many releases you want to keep. Save your file.
From your application folder type:
cap deploy:cleanup
It may take a few minutes to finish depending on how many releases you have archived.
