Large log files are stored in git history

[leezu]

The repository is quite big and therefore takes a long time to clone.

Checking with the git_find_big.sh script from https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/reduce-repository-size-321848262.html shows that this space is taken up by log files. While they were removed from the master, they are still present in the history. It would be great if you can purge them from the history so that the repository will only contain the useful code and cloning will be fast again :)

Essentially git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -rf logs' --prune-empty HEAD will do the trick.
