Is there a way to customize Branch ordering algorithm for auto-merge ?

Max Novikov

Hi,

I need to create custom branch model for our needs and want to get advantage of automatic branch merging:

Branch prefix for Release: master

Branches:

- master (prod)

- master-<future-date-1> 

- master-<future-date-2> 

- master-<future-date-3> 

Auto-merge works well for branches like 'master-<future-date-X>' as this matches to Semantic versioning. 

But auto-merge doesn't work if i merge a pull request to master, it's not cascading to master-<future-date-X>... The following rule not met: 

• Only branches matching the name of the pull request target are added into the merge path. Matching means that every token before the first numeric token must be equal to the corresponding tokens of the target branch's name.

Is there any way to customize Branch ordering algorithm for auto-merge ?

Hi Max! At the moment it's not possible to customize the branch ordering algorithm, right now the way it works is documented at Automatic branch merging - Ordering.

I found this feature request that might interest you, you can vote for it or comment at BSERV-3967.

Hope that helps!
