| After upgrading to Bitbucket Server 7.0.1, we get this kind of error for every pull request in multibranch projects in which Jenkins has been configured to build the result of merging the pull request:
ERROR: Could not do lightweight checkout, falling back to heavyweight

git ls-remote origin shows that Bitbucket Server now publishes "refs/pull-requests/771/from" but not "refs/pull-requests/771/merge", even though the pull request has no merge conflicts (the target branch even has no new commits). This might be related to "the switch from a 3-way diff to a 2-way diff in pull requests" in Bitbucket Server 7.0.0. Jenkins then does the heavyweight checkout and successfully merges the pull request, so the project ultimately builds OK, but the heavyweight checkout consumes a lot of time and disk space. I don't know whether there is any simple way to fix this in the bitbucket-branch-source plugin. If Bitbucket Server has deliberately ceased publishing "refs/pull-requests/*/merge", perhaps the plugin could do a three-way merge on Jenkinsfile only, rather than on the entire tree. That would require a REST API for getting the commit ID of a merge base though, and I don't know whether such a thing exists. |
