Why when doing a merge with Pull Request .gitattributes properties are not taken into consideration?

[Adam Bialas]

Hi,

I am trying to set merge strategy for one file in .gitattributes so when merging to develop a file content is not changed (I added to .gitattributes file line: file_name merge=ours). It works locally but when I want to do a merge with pull request it does not.  Is there any way to enable it in bitbucket?
