Problems with automatic branch merging
Hi,
We have been using the following standard for branch naming:
release/<number> for new features for some release
release/hotfix/<release-number> for fixes in some release
As an example, we have the following branches:
release/7.11.18 (new features for 7.11 "family")
release/hotfix/7.11.16.00.f009 (fixes for version 7.11.16)
release/hotfix/7.11.17.00.f006 (fixes for version 7.11.17)
The automatic branch merging feature of Bitbucket is working fine for those branches.
But now we started the version 8.0.0 of the product and we have created the following branch for maintenance:
release/hotfix/8.0.1
The problem is when we merge a Pull Request with some hotfix branches before version 8.0.1, the branch of the 8.0 "family" is skipped in the branch list. The branch list presented in the "Merge pull request" dialog is the following:
Looks like the automatic branch merging feature of Bitbucket is skipping branches when the difference is in the first digit of the version.
I'm missing something here, so I hope someone can help out!
