The following branch policies should be applied to the dev and main branches for all projects.

The release branches brought over from the TFS migration should be locked as no further changes should be made to them.

For the dev branch, limit merge types to Squash merge to ensure the branch is clean.

For the main branch, limit merge types to Rebase and fast-forward.

Team Skyblazers or Team Avro Arrows should be set as an automatically included reviewer.
