@netomi We will need the merge queue for our repository https://github.com/eclipse-apoapsis/ort-server. As long as this feature is not implemented, can this be manually configured for a repository or would otterdog revert these settings if it runs?

[netomi]

we can manually set the merge queue for now, the remaining settings of a branch protection rule can be setup with otterdog. The unknown setting will not be touched.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation.

[netomi]

so far I encountered nobody using that feature, if there is interest in it I will raise priority accordingly and make sure that is supported asap.

Some research reveals that there is currently no API to create a merge queue, see also this request: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/50893

The graphql API allows to query existing merge queue, but there is no mutation to create one.
