Details

Checking for submodule fast-forward merge

This version includes a new merge check to ensure that all submodules can be merged to the default branch in fast-forward mode. If we didn't merge the submodule before merging the main repository, we'd be able to do it afterward in fast-forward mode, and the link to the submodule will remain unchanged. 

Please note that merge check only works for submodules hosted in Bitbucket it's been enabled in. The validation is performed only at the first level of a submodule, and nested submodules will not be checked. Also, if the list of changes is truncated for it is too large to render and the modified submodule didn't appear in the rendered list, it will not be analyzed in this merge-check.

Merge-check must first be enabled in the project or repository settings.
