Jira Subversion

Question

I believe that there is a feature in that links Jira issue with the Subversion check-in comments.

I do not see any information about this in any Atlassian Documentation. Can anyone point me to the information. What format does have to be in? Can Fisheye interpret it too?

Very true - it works on a simple scrape of "commits done since".  Editing comments are not commits, so it doesn't re-index them

Beware the plugin has a long-standing error wherein if the SVN comment is edited with a new ticket ID, that is not reflected in Jira ever without massive admin.

I think you're thinking of the "subversion plugin" for Jira - this lets you associate Jira projects with subversion repositories.  When that's done, it simply indexes the repositoty, looking for text in the comments that match Jira issue keys - when found, it displays them in a tab on the issue in Jira.  (There's a project tab too, for a summary of all the commits)

You don't need any formatting really, it is just "read subversion and display information matching on issue key".  It really is plain text - if you commit "Mr Flibble told me to commit this because it breaks JIRA-123", you'll see that displayed on Jira-123...

Have a look at https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.jira.plugin.ext.subversion

Fisheye is separate, it has it's own communication with Subversion, and another path into Jira for sharing it all.
