My idea was:

$ make testuite

that will build all dependencies, ie. fssum and btrfs-corrupt-block, and
create btrfs-progs-tests.tar.gz in the current directory, ie. no need
for the EXPORT variable.

The tar command you used would add anything that's under tessts/ but we
don't need everything. So I'd expect there's a file that lists all files
and directories that we want in the testsuite tarball.

Some sort of identification should be put to the tarball, eg. what git
describe says and timestamp of generation.

The structure could be reduced by one directory level if the contents of
tests is moved one directory up. That way all the test driver scritps
are in the same place as fssum and btrfs-corrupt-block. This would need
to be reflected in the test scripts.
