Workaround for bitbucket trouble with git-notes

[ElfenB]

Context: Bitbucket is generating ghost commits that have the commit message "Notes added by 'git notes add'" if git-notes is used (e.g. with semantic-release). To prevent Jenkins starting builds that will result in failure because there is nothing to build, the build should be stopped when those commits are coming in. Reference: https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/discussions/2017#discussioncomment-995308

@ElfenB , I just tested git notes in BItbucket with an EDP project and this change will not fix your issue. The branch that triggers the build does not even exists but still triggers the webhook on the Bitbucket repository and consecuent also the Jenkins pipeline.

With this situation, modification on the shared library will not make effect on this specific issue. The webhook on Bitbucket does not have an opton to exclude

@braisvq1996, thank you for the feedback! I'll cancel the PR. Do you have a different idea how to do this? Perhaps in the webhook proxy (so 1 step earlier in the process)?

[braisvq1996]

Yes @ElfenB , the only way would be on the webhook proxy in ods-core repository, but I do not think the feature to filter out certain commits is available.
