Enabling Bamboo gatekeeper merge fails

Question

I am trying to use the Gatekeeper feature in Bamboo but currently, it fails with some weird exception:

MeregeCommand Error:

Hi Alok,

Thanks for the update.  Can you provide the code block before and after the error you see?  You should be able to attach a text output and if you need to you can remove some of the identifying data and we'll go from there.

Thanks,

Branden

I manually deleted the cache directory and it still gives the same error.

Thanks, Brenden! I got to know that Bamboo uses repository caching where the code is first fetched from source control to a local cache(on the bamboo server). So auto merging fails even before it runs any task on an agent(like running git status).

There is a high probability that the local cache is corrupted(speculating as I don't have admin access). But the interesting thing is all the branches works fine when "Auto merge " is disabled.
