CI testing needs to know which xfstests branch to use on all OSs.
We can't just use the el9 xfstests branch on el9 only, because we
need to run the same el9 xfstests on el8 and el7 as well, otherwise
testing will just fail.
So, we put a marker file in our git repo that tells us that we're
not going to use the default `scoutfs` branch from scoutfs-xfstests-dev
but our own special tag or branch. The CI job then should pass the
proper -x {branch} flag to the run-tests.sh script.

Introduction
scoutfs is a clustered in-kernel Linux filesystem designed to support large archival systems. It features additional interfaces and metadata so that archive agents can perform their maintenance workflows without walking all the files in the namespace. Its cluster support lets deployments add nodes to satisfy archival tier bandwidth targets.
The design goal is to reach file populations in the trillions, with the archival bandwidth to match, while remaining operational and responsive.
Highlights of the design and implementation include:
- Fully consistent POSIX semantics between nodes
- Atomic transactions to maintain consistent persistent structures
- Integrated archival metadata replaces syncing to external databases
- Dynamic seperation of resources lets nodes write in parallel
- 64bit throughout; no limits on file or directory sizes or counts
- Open GPLv2 implementation
