# [PATCH v3 1/2] perf: add function to setup a fresh test repo 7 messages from 2017-05-11 to 2017-05-11. Participants: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, Jonathan Nieder.

Some performance tests don't need any existing repository data at all to be significant, e.g. tests which stress glob matches against single pathological revisions or files, which I'm about to add in a subsequent commit.
