We need the ability exclude commits by commit message using regular expressions. For example, we want any commit message that starts with "Merged from" to be excluded from being read in from the repository because we don't need to review merged code and don't want the all those lines messing up the code review statistics/reports. This would be in addition to the Include/Exclude Paths to control which parts of the repository will be indexed.

Hi everyone,
We have recently reviewed this issue and the overall interest in the problem. As the issue hasn't collect votes, watchers, comments, or support cases from many customers during its lifetime, it's very low on our priority list, and will not be fixed in the foreseeable future. That's why we've decided to resolve it as Not being considered.
Excluding revisions brings significant impact on data consistency (e.g. how to make a diff if a revision is missing). For this reason we consider this only as a last resort and not as a mean to improve statistics or reports. Please read the FE-626 in which we describe in details plausible scenarios and how such exclusion could work.
Although we're aware the issue is still important to those of you who were involved in the conversations around it, we want to be clear in managing your expectations. The Fisheye&Crucible team is focusing on issues that have broad impact and high value, reflected by the number of comments, votes, support cases, and customers interested. Please consult the Implementation of New Features Policy for more details.
We understand how disappointing this decision may be, but we hope you'll appreciate our transparent approach and communication. Atlassian will continue to watch this issue for further updates, so please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
Regards
Marek Parfianowicz
