It's the opposite -- but the rpm conditional is quite long
and ugly though, so it's not as clear it could be.  It
excludes jgit for the test suite entirely on Fedora 35 and
newer¹.

On prior releases, it was excluded for x86 and s390x
architectures.  For s390x, the issue was that the jgit
daemon frequently hung on during builds and was painful to
try and debug without access to the architecture.  (For the
few tests which use jgit, it was simpler to just not test on
s390x).

¹ Every few releases (it seems), some part of the java
  dependency chain gets close to being dropped from the
  distribution.  After disabling and enalbing jgit several
  times, I've left it disabled, even though jgit has managed
  to remain in Fedora.  As much as I'd like to run the
  compatibilty tests, I don't like the "OMG, git will be
  removed from Fedora because some dependency of jgit is
  going away!" every couple of releases. :)
