    repository CI settings, or as git push variables, to influence
    which jobs get run in a pipeline
 
+ * QEMU_CI_CONTAINER_TAG - the tag used to publish containers
+   in stage 1, for use by build jobs in stage 2. Defaults to
+   'latest', but if running pipelines for different branches
+   concurrently, it should be overridden per pipeline.
+
+ * QEMU_CI_UPSTREAM - gitlab namespace that is considerd to be
+   the 'upstream'. This defaults to 'qemu-project'. Contributors
+   may choose to override this if they are modifying rules in
+   base.yml and need to validate how they will operate when in
+   an upstream context, as opposed to their fork context.

  * nnn - other misc variables not falling into the above
    categories, or using different names for historical reasons
    and not yet converted.
