Is it possible to allow a user/group permission to see the commit messages in the issue Activity log without giving them permission to browse the source code and perform subversion checkouts?

In most cases, no — that isn’t possible by default. If you want to see related discussions or examples, visit here on the Atlassian Community. Commit messages that appear in a Jira issue’s Activity or Development section come from the connected source-control system (like Subversion). Because of that, visibility of those commits is usually tied to repository permissions. So if a user can see the commit message, they typically also have at least read access to the repository. A common workaround is using automation or scripts that add commit details as comments in the issue, but Jira itself doesn’t normally allow commit messages to be visible while completely blocking repository access.

As far as I know, the only way to allow users to view the Source Tab is if they have the "View" permission in subversion and "View Source" permission in JIRA.

Can you give more details of the Atlassian software you are using? Is this JIRA Studio, or a product you have installed yourself?
