Problem / Suggestion

Bitbucket Cloud Merge Queues currently do not offer a "Rebase, fast-forward" merge strategy. A user has requested this option specifically. Today, Merge Queues support rebase + merge, but a true fast-forward merge (no merge commit, linear history) is not available.

Why it matters

Teams that maintain a strictly linear commit history prefer "rebase, fast-forward" as it rebases the source branch onto the target and advances the target pointer without creating a merge commit.

Customer feedback via BTFC-132 - Missing "Rebase, fast forward" strategy :/

Current state

•  Bitbucket: supports Merge and Rebase (rebase + merge); fast-forward is not supported.
•  GitHub: supports Merge, Squash, and Rebase — no explicit fast-forward.
•  Mergify: supports Merge, Squash, Rebase, and Fast-forward.

Proposed

Add a "Rebase, fast-forward" merge strategy option to Merge Queues, producing a linear history with no merge commit.
