FWIW, I have this command in my vimrc:

" Clean up old undo files
command! -nargs=0 CleanUpUndoFiles
\ !find ~/.vim/tmp/undo -type f
\ -mtime +100d \! -name '.gitignore' -delete

Explanation:

!find ~/.vim/tmp/undo: find files in ~/.vim/tmp/undo...
-type f: ...which are files (not directories)...
-mtime +100d: ...and which are ~3 months old...
-delete: ...and delete them...
\! -name '.gitgnore': ...but do not touch `.gitignore`.

Btw, now that Vim has jobs, it would be nice if it had an option to
perform clean up tasks like this in the background.

Enjoy,
Life.
