Re: [epsilon-dev] Delete "performance" folder from history

[Dimitris Kolovos <dimitris.kolovos@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sina,

Let's have a separate discussion about which branches to keep/delete
once this is done.

All: Gerrit seems to be getting in the way of this [1] so please hold
back any pushes until further notice.

Thanks,
Dimitris

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.
