Well, imo you just want to totally wipe out your local repository regularly. Everything will just be download properly next time you run mvn. Moreover, locally maven won't install timestamped version by, so your repo is not going to grow very quickly anyway.
If you speak about a maven deployment repository (managed by a maven repository manager like archiva, nexus or so), then this is another problem that has already had the corresponding feature for a long time (automatic repository snapshot purge for archiva, I guess other mrm has an equivalent).
