Hi,

I have a situation where the BitBucket repo is the only place that contains an orphaned commit. Nobody else has a copy of the branch it was on, or of the commit itself. I really need to be able to fetch that commit and it's parent commits.

If there was a way to tag a commit on the server, I could use git fetch to retrieve it. But unfortunately it is not possible. This is addressed in issue BCLOUD-7399.

Another way could be to SSH into the server and perform the steps described here. Of course this is not possible since I do not maintain the server . Duh. If I could SSH, I could also tag the commit using Git CLI.

It looks like right now there is absolutely no way for me to retrieve the commit I want, even though I know it's exact complete SHA-1, and I can access it's BB page in the browser by typing in https://bitbucket.org/<user>/<repo>/commits/<sha-1>.

This is very disappointing, very frustrating and is probably going to cause waste of several hours of work. Please fix. I really need that commit, and I am sure I'm not alone.
