Hi Dimitris,
I think this is a good idea. I tried to look for places where this is used within the main branch and could not find any, and there is only a single use case in that folder anyway. I think it makes sense to separate these benchmarks from the main development repo (delete or host elsewhere), though if we want to keep the ‘performance’ folder in the repository for whatever reason one option would be to delete only the models.
Thanks,
Sina
Hi everyone,
We used to have a "performance" folder in the Git repo that contained
some big EMF models we used at some point for performance experiments.
One of these models is marginally larger than GitHub's 100MB per-file
limit, which means that it's not possible to mirror [1] the Epsilon
repository on GitHub. I'm considering deleting this folder *from the
entire history* of the Epsilon repo following the instructions in [2]
but I thought I'd run this past the dev list first in case anyone has
any concerns about this.
Cheers,
Dimitris
