Combine old results with new after matrix change

[moorepants]

I added numpy as a dependency to the sympy benchmarks and now there is a flag/parameter/category related to numpy (but not to other dependencies that we use). I have thousands of results in the database and now when I run with skip existing it no longer recognizes all of the pre-numpy depedency benchmark runs as the same thing. How do I tell asv not to treat numpy as a special dependency?

Not currently. You need to edit the old json files to make it go away.

Is there a way to edit the previous benchmarks to add the numpy designation to them?

I'm afraid the answer is to write your own script that mogrifies the json and adds the numpy entry to old data files. That's the workaround, probably there should be a better way to control this.
