Help with Permissions

[OT2O]

Hi, I am trying to set up the permissions on a branch to allow branching and merging from/to the branch, but deny checking in  changes directly to the branch.

It appears the ci (check in) permission is required to be able to merge from sub branches back to a main branch however. 

Any idea what I could be doing wrong or if this is doable in plastic?

Thanks

The chekin permissions is not necessary to run a  merge. But it's necessary if you want to later checkin the merge result in the branch. Does it make sense, right?

A workaround could be using a before-checkin trigger that checks if the checkin includes a merge link or not:
