             Summary: enable early-return for CI only changes in Geode Concourse
                 Key: GEODE-8406
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-8406
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ci
            Reporter: Robert Houghton


The Geode Concourse PR pipeline pulls the _ci_ scripts from upstream, not the code under test. Ergo, CI changes are untestable by the main CI itself, and running the PR jobs is useless, and costly.

GitHub does not allow granular control of what directories require a _status_ to allow merging, so our solution is to short circuit the work for CI-only PRs, allowing the status to be set.
