Summary

Lets say you have old branch named Development and you enabled the push rule later on under the project > repository > push rules > branch name to prevent branches with capitalised letters, regex ^[a-z0-9\\-]{4,15}$, you are not able to merge anything in to the branch Development because the branch name is capitalised. Should the push rules not apply only to the branches that are created after you enable the push rule?

Steps to reproduce

• Create a branch with capitalised name let's say Dev
• Enable push rule under the project > repository > push rules > branch name with regex ^[a-z0-9\\-]{4,15}$
• You are no longer able to merge in to the branch Dev
