Bamboo permanently disables plan branches if repository temporarily unavailable

We have repository polling setup on 5 minute intervals for our git repos (commit hooks won't work with our setup), however if the internet has a hiccup, or BitBucket has a small outage, Bamboo disables every branch on every plan permanently with a "Can't detect changes" error

Having to go re-enable the branches by hand a couple times a week gets old pretty quickly. Writing a script for cron to run every 5 minutes to re-enable plan branches via the Bamboo API seems like something we shouldn't have to do.

Bamboo isn't setup to auto-manage the branches, no auto-merging, no cleanup after X days. So I can't really find any options to work around this behavior
