find with complex logic
So the ideal would be to keep the last 2 build#'s so you have the last successful deploy and the current one which may have multiple iterations but as the folder names are constantly changing that would be too difficult, this is an attempt to do the same thing with different logic.

Example 1 - would want to keep the last 2 folders from Dec 22/23
Code:
/Deployments1
drwxr-xr-x   18 wasadm   wasgroup       4096 Dec 11 10:50 2.0.0.020.20091130-1446
drwxr-xr-x   18 wasadm   wasgroup       4096 Jan 05 12:31 2.0.0.020.final.20091207-1048
drwxr-xr-x   18 wasadm   wasgroup       4096 Dec 11 13:07 2.0.0.021.20091210-1236
drwxr-xr-x   19 wasadm   wasgroup       4096 Dec 22 11:41 2.0.0.022.20091217-1126
drwxr-xr-x   18 wasadm   wasgroup       4096 Dec 23 14:49 2.0.0.023.20091223-1155

Example 2 - in this case would keep the last 3 builds because they are within the 2 day criteria (would probably change this to something like a 7 day criteria so would actually be saving the last 4 builds)
Code:
/Deployments2
drwxr-xr-x   17 wasadm   wasgroup       4096 Nov 17 21:52 2.0.0.019.20091117-1929
drwxr-xr-x   18 wasadm   wasgroup       4096 Nov 19 00:50 2.0.0.019.20091118-1742
drwxr-xr-x   20 wasadm   wasgroup       4096 Nov 25 12:59 2.0.0.020.20091124-1656
drwxr-xr-x   18 wasadm   wasgroup       4096 Nov 26 10:49 2.0.0.020.20091125-1748
drwxr-xr-x   18 wasadm   wasgroup       4096 Nov 26 22:24 2.0.0.020.20091126-1150

Even better would be to come up with logic that compared the first part of the folder name and if it is the same keep all those plus 1 more. ie. 2.0.0.020 - keep all that matched this, plus the last 2.0.0.019.
So you would want to save the most recent folder, any folders that match the same first 10 characters of that folder, and then the most recent folder before all of those folders. All other folders would be deleted.

I'm getting closer. This will give me that last build and any associated revisions of it. Now I just have to figure out how to add the last previous folder to this list, and then use this as an exclude list while I delete the other folders.
Code:
ls | tail -1 | cut -c -10 | xargs -i ksh -c "find . -name '{}*'"

NAME

       ipurge - delete mail from IMAP mailbox or partition based on age or size

SYNOPSIS

       ipurge [ -f ] [ -C config-file ] [ -x ] [ -X ] [ -i ] [ -s ] [ -o ]
	      [ -d days | -b bytes | -k Kbytes | -m Mbytes ]
	      [ mailbox-pattern...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Ipurge  deletes	messages from the mailbox(es) specified by mailbox-pattern that are older or larger than specified by the -d, -b, -k or -m
       options.  If no mailbox-pattern is given, ipurge works on all mailboxes.  If the -x option is given, the message age and  size  MUST  match
       exactly those specified by -d, -b, -k or -m.  The are no default values, and at least one of -d, -b, -k or -m MUST be specified.

       Ipurge  by  default  only deletes mail below shared folders, which means that mails in mailbox(es) below INBOX.* and user.* stay untouched.
       Use the option -f to also delete mail in mailbox(es) below these folders.

       Ipurge reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.

OPTIONS

       -f     Force deletion of mail in all mailboxes.

       -C config-file
	      Read configuration options from config-file.

       -d days
	      Age of message in days.

       -b bytes
	      Size of message in bytes.

       -k Kbytes
	      Size of message in Kbytes (2^10 bytes).

       -m Mbytes
	      Size of message in Mbytes (2^20 bytes).

       -x     Perform an exact match on age or size (instead of older or larger).

       -X     Use delivery time instead of Date: header for date matches

       -i     Invert match logic: -x means not equal, date is for newer, size is for smaller

       -s     Skip over messages that have the Flagged flag set.

       -o     Only purge messages that have the Deleted flag set.

FILES

       /etc/imapd.conf
