Known Issues

MySQL, while supported by Bitbucket Server, is currently not  recommended, especially for larger instances, due to inherent performance and deadlock issues that occur in this database engine under heavy load.

See Connecting Bitbucket Server to MySQL for more details and http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-deadlocks.html for some general information on deadlock issues.

You should not use Bitbucket Server with the following:

Git – server

We recommend using the most recent supported version of Git on both the Bitbucket Server instance and clients where possible, subject to the following notes and exceptions:

  • The version of Git installed on machines that interact with Bitbucket Server must be compatible with the version of Git installed for use by the Bitbucket Server instance.

  • Do not use CygwinGit on Windows servers, regardless of version.

  • Git for Windows 2.12.2  has a regression in git status which causes editing files to fail. The regression has been fixed, and the fix was included in Git for Windows 2.12.3.

  • BSERV-9673 - File editing fails using Git for Windows 2.12.2
