[Swift-devel] a weekend playing with graphs

[Ioan Raicu]

All Falkon logs are currently named the same thing, but at the start of 
a new experiment, the old logs get archived in a folder by the date and 
time of the archive operation.  So, in essence, all the logs from all 
the runs are kept around until someone removes them.

Now, the motivation for keeping the same names for every run, was for 
ease of automated graphing tools and scripts.  Maybe with a little more 
effort in these tools to make them a bit smarter and find the logs in 
different files or directories every time, and Falkon could adopt the 
same methodology Swift has.
