Fisheye unable to recognize the SVN repository - Unable to make progress.
Asked by Viswanath:

I am having trouble setting up repository in Fisheye. I have installed SVN and Tortoise SVN client. I have installed JIRA, Fisheye/Crucible to demo the advantages in linking up source control with issue and then to perform automated code reviews - there by improving developers productivity and collaboration.

**Versions**

**Fisheye**Version:3.9.1 Build:20150910131426 2015-09-10

**SVN - TortoiseSVN-1.9.1.26747-x64-svn-1.9.1**

**----------------------------------------------**

**SVN INFO - is correct**

Answers:
author: Piotr Swiecicki
body: Hi @Viswanath,

It seems your repository is in the FSFS 7 format (see <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/structure>) introduced in SVN 1.9 version (see <https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.9.html>). I'm afraid FishEye does not support SVN 1.9 yet, there is an open improvement raised: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/FE-5579>

For now I would suggest you downgrade your svn binary to 1.8 version and create repository with it (svn info shows you are at revision 3, so I hope it is brand new repository with no content in it yet). FishEye supports 1.8 version, so the integration will work smoothly.

Kind regards,  
Piotr
