FishEye 2.0 Beta is a public development release leading up to FishEye 2.0. For all production use and testing of FishEye, please use the latest official release.

Do not use in production.
Beta releases should not be used in production environments.
Please also take note of the following information:
  • Beta releases are not safe — Beta releases are snapshots of the ongoing FishEye development process. As such:
    • While we try to keep these releases stable, they have not undergone the same degree of testing as a full release.
    • Features in development releases may be incomplete, or may change or be removed before the next full release.

This page contains information about the alpha pre-release support for Git 1.6, which is activated (but not complete) in the FishEye 2.0 Beta.

Introduction and Disclaimer

Git Alpha support is included in this beta release for Git 1.6. Atlassian stresses that this is alpha level support which means the following:

1. There is no admin support yet (no UI controls for the feature).
2. There are missing features - notably author line count support.
3. Subsequent betas are likely to require re-indexing (although Git indexing is reasonably fast).
4. Problems are to be expected. Do not use this on production instances.

However, feedback (see below) is appreciated and your comments will contribute to the quality of the final product.

Configuration

To configure a Git 1.6 repository in FishEye, you will need to stop FishEye and edit your config.xml file directly. An example repository configuration follows.

<repository name="test" enabled="true">
  <git location="git://git.example.com/repo.git"/>
    <security>
      <required-groups/>
    </security>
</repository>

The <repository> tag must directly follow the </repository-defaults> ending tag, or another ending tag for a repository (</repository>). If you do not place the repository tag correctly your application will not start up and is likely to throw an error like the following:

ERROR - Errors parsing /Path/To/FISHEYE_INST/config.xml:
