Currently the -X option is intended to specify a set of expunging
files which are stored in each test/* subdirectory.  As described in
the commit description for 0b1e8abd4, in order to exclude the test
generic/280, the -X option is used as follows:

    $ cat tests/generic/3.0-stable-avoid
    280
    $ sudo ./check -X 3.0-stable-avoid generic/280

However, it is sometimes useful to store the set of expunged tests in
a single file, outside of tests/* subdirectories.  This commit allows
the following:

    $ cat /root/conf/data_journal.exclude
    generic/068
    ext4/301
    $ sudo ./check -X /root/conf/data_journal.exclude -g auto

If the argument to the -X option is a pathname (that is, includes a
'/' character), treat it as the latter case.  If it the argument to
the -X option is just a bare filename (that is, does not include '/'
character), treat it as the former.

Can you add a new option rather than overloading the existing one
with new meanings and semantics?

Cheers,

Dave.

If that's your preference, sure.  How does --expunge-list-file strike
you?  Or would you prefer something else?  I'm easy.  :-)

-E/--expunge-file is fine by me.

Cheers,

Dave.
