Environment

Release : 18.1

Component : BRIDGE FOR GIT 2.7.1

Resolution

Development team made the following suggestion: 

1.  Setting the right option in B4G to work with Control freak.  Set it up to commit-author: MAPPING_USER to work with the current settings.
2.  Whitelist the branch names for revert branches.  This isn't about disabling Control freak settings but rather accommodating the function for dealing with sync errors in addition to site regular branch naming standards.

Broadcom just published B4G 2.8, this version contains a fix that ensures users are always connected with commits for Bridge, this will help enabling Control Freak in BitBucket.
