This is a regression introduced in #25510, which removed the explicit fetching of upstream. Sadly this doesn't work if you don't have any local branch referring to `upstream` as an upstream branch.
Some times we need a fix / change to have two parts in two different branches (corresponding to two different ES releases). In order to be able to test these cases you need to run the BWC tests against a local branch rather than then using a branch from `github.com/elastic/elasticsearch`.
This commit adds a system property called `tests.bwc.refspec` that allows you to do it. Note that I've chosen to go with the simplest code change for now, at the expense of some user friendliness.
Removes the `assemble` task from the `build` task when we have
removed `assemble` from the project. We removed `assemble` from
projects that aren't published so our releases will be faster. But
That broke CI because CI builds with `gradle precommit build` and,
it turns out, that `build` includes `check` and `assemble`. With
this change CI will only run `check` for projects without an
`assemble`.
Removes the `assemble` task from projects that are not published.
This should speed up `gradle assemble` by skipping projects that
don't need to be built. Which is useful because `gradle assemble`
is how we cut releases.
This commit changes the task type of the checkoutBwcBranch task to Exec
from LoggedExec so that the output of the checkout command is
shown. This enables us to see the SHA used for the checkout which can be
useful when debugging a BWC break.

Commit bf007e8d93 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.
Relates #25134
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.
Removes the `distribution:bwc` project in favor of
`distribution:bwc-release-snapshot` and
`distribution:bwc-stable-snapshot`.
`distribution:bwc-release-snapshot` builds a snapshot of the
latest release branch (5.4 now) if needed for backwards
compatibility. `distribution:bwc-stable-snapshot` builds a
snapshot of the latest stable branch (5.x now) if needed for
backwards compatibility.
Some packaging tests depend on snapshot versions of packaging
distributions yet the build does not use a repository that includes such
distributions. While we could add such a repository, a better strategy
is to follow our approach for other BWC tests where we depend on a
locally-compiled archive distribution. This commit adds a local
compilation of packaging artifacts and substitutes these anywhere that
we would otherwise depend on a snapshot of these artifacts.
