Kolab 3.4 tag explosion

[Homer Dokes]

Hello,

Thanks a bunch for the fix on the tag explosion issue.

I do have a question after having looked at the fix here -> 
https://git.kolab.org/rRPKf575dace67f2135c8d82558c4da9bbc28bc9ee3f

1. On both of my kolab installations I have found that neither have a 
kolab_storage_config.php file under the plugins/libkolab/tests/ 
directory.  The edits at the above link suggest an existing file with 
this name was edited with the shown changes.  Is this a file I 'should' 
have in the tests directory? Currently the only files in the tests 
directory in either installation is kolab_storage_folder.php and a 
README.md file.

Thanks,

hdokes
