How to get a notification upon an SVN commit to a watched issued?

Hello. My organization is currently evaluating a local install of Jira and Fisheye. We use Subversion for source control. As far as I know, Fisheye is correctly linked to our Jira instance.

We've got email notifications configured so that if I watch an issue/ticket, I get notified if someone makes a comment in the issue.

We've got a pre-commit hook in SVN that ensures an open Jira issue is mentioned in the commit message. After that, you can see the commit in the "Development" section of the issue in Jira.

However what I want is to be notified when someone commits an SVN revision that mentions issues I'm watching. I don't see any obvious way to do that. There's no event category for that in Jira notification settings.

I can see how to configure Fisheye to notify me if anyone commits to a directory of interest. However I want a notification only if an issue is mentioned that I'm watching.

We previously used Trac and we configured a post-commit hook in SVN to add a comment to the Trac issue that linked back to the SVN revision (and that generated an email). We found that Jira detected the activity thru Fisheye but we're having trouble getting that checkin activity notification. Having to manually poll/check issues of interest for activity is not feasible for us. Thanks for any advice.
