Commit elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@b07aa78a7b was a forward port of logic needed in 5.x to get
the correct bwc branch. However, other changes on master meant that this forward port was not
needed and actually broke the bwc tests. This change removes the incorrect if statement and project name.
Original commit: elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@9a77269fa6
When testing against the previous 5.x release, the bwc project incorrectly would checkout the 5.x
branch instead of the 5.5 branch as it still had the logic that applies for major versions bwc. This change adds
a check to compare the major version when making the decision on the branch to use.
Original commit: elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@b07aa78a7b
This allows us to build both 5.5.0-SNAPSHOT and 5.4.1-SNAPSHOT
artifacts for backwards compatibility testing. It is a port of
elastic/elasticsearch:24870 to x-pack and will be super useful
when elastic/elasticsearch:24846 is ported to x-pack.
