Why do you want to do this? What benefit do you gain from removing the
jump info from .viminfo? I rarely use the jumplist myself, but keeping
it in the file for the last 100 edited files only occupies about 3KB
(.viminfo total ~18KB, lines starting with spaces then '+', about 3KB).

If you're doing it to keep .viminfo somehow "cleaner", I again question
your motives. There might be another problem you're approaching from
the wrong direction (or at least an "odd" one). Manually inspecting or
modifying .viminfo is usually not the right approach.
