Github user twilmes commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-tinkerpop/pull/274#issuecomment-200309448 I had done it like that so you could switch back and forth between branches, run benchmarks, and the results would be persistent for comparison purposes without copying them out of `target`. Having said that, I'm just using the benchmark class name as the name of the file so these would get overwritten every run anyway. I could update that naming to include an incrementing number in the file name. I'm not opposed to putting them under target, though. I'd imagine the usual performance tuning cycle may go something like iterate on perf improvements in your branch, running benchmarks as you make updates. Then commit, switch back to master or latest stable, run benchmarks again, and note how much of an improvement you made.
