Description
Issue Summary
Attempting to merge a pull request using one of the "rebase" merge strategies ("Rebase and merge" or "Rebase fast-forward") can time out when there are no files in the top-level of the target branch and the first file is encountered within a subdirectory more than 1 level deep.
Steps to Reproduce
There is an issue (since Bitbucket Server 7.0) in the way the work tree is constructed for rebase merges under some fairly specific conditions (specifically when the pull request target doesn't contain any files, only directories, at the top-level of the directory structure, and the first file is encountered within a subdirectory more than 1 level deep, for example as shown in the image below).
Expected Results
The pull request should be merged.
Actual Results
The merge attempt times out after the default timeout period (the default setting is 5 minutes).
The below exception is thrown in the application log file:

Workaround
A few different workarounds are available:
1) Try using a different merge strategy for merging the pull request (for example "Merge commit --no-ff" or "Squash --squash")
2) Add one or more files to the top-level of the target directory, for example as shown in the image:
3) Disable NIO handling by setting process.nio.enabled=false in bitbucket.properties and restart the server.
Warning: Support for disabling NIO handling will be removed in a future version, so after upgrading to a fixed version the process.nio.enabled=false setting should be removed.
