-  - Update `evergreen/system_perf/master/variants.yml` to `evergreen/system_perf/X.Y/variants.yml` in the "include" section
-  - Update `evergreen/system_perf/master/genny_tasks.yml` to `evergreen/system_perf/X.Y/genny_tasks.yml` in the "include" section

   - Update the [evergreen project variable](https://docs.devprod.prod.corp.mongodb.com/evergreen/Project-Configuration/Project-and-Distro-Settings#variables) `compile_project` in the new sys-perf-X.X evergreen project to point to the new mongodb-mongo-X branch
