Large Repository

[maxspahn]

Hi @se-hwan and @hojae-io,

Thanks a lot for this repository. It is something, I have been desperately looking for in the casadi core and was always disappointed. So, great effort by you guys.

While browsing through the repository, I noticed that it's quite large. See the printout of du -h -d 2

28K     ./.git/refs
8.0K    ./.git/info
32K     ./.git/logs
4.0K    ./.git/branches
89M     ./.git/objects
68K     ./.git/hooks
90M     ./.git
8.0K    ./data
32K     ./plotting
16K     ./examples
4.0K    ./backup
8.0K    ./codegen
680K    ./src/casadi_functions
12M     ./src/benchmark_functions
13M     ./src
17M     ./media
119M    .

Notably, the history is extremly large, ~90 Mb. When I started to investigate this, I quickly understood that you have deleted the large test_profile files in the past commit 793f3be. This makes the repo look small, but the history remains inside the .git folder.

I suggest to use BFG to delete these files, so that the download becomes much faster and does not fill up local storages.

Let me know if you want assistance with that.

I will continue making suggestions to the repository to improve the usability of cusadi, because I think it is a very much needed functionality of casadi.

Best,
