More details
Control Freak is a collection of push and merge hooks to reject commits based on pre-configured rules. Available rules include:
- Enforce JIRA linking for git commit messages (similar to YACC but better!)
- Branch naming policy
- Block large files
- Block deletes / rewrites / force-pushes of important branches
- Enforce a rebase or squash workflow
- Block self-approvals on pull-requests
- Author / committer name and email checks
- Block empty commits
- Block foxtrot merges
Configuration can be applied per-repo, per-project, or globally. Rules can be applied per repository type (regular vs. personal vs. fork). User and Group based exemption lists let service accounts, bots, and power users avoid the checks when necessary.
Our checking logic is optimized to run at most two "git rev-list" commands per push or merge, no matter how many rules you have enabled.

Version information
Version 2024.12.08•for Bitbucket Data Center 7.0.0 - 9.5.0
- Release date
- Dec 8th 2024
- Summary
- Performance Improvements
- Details
We have made adjustments to the "git log" command that Control-Freak uses to retrieve commit metadata. These adjustments have significantly improved Control-Freak's performance (e.g., we saw typical scenarios go from 1.333s down to 0.050s).
The bulk of the gains came from removing "--date-order" as well as switching to "-m --name-only" instead of "-c --name-only" when checking for submodule updates.
