*Except Fisheye and Crucible

Fisheye/Crucible ships with JSVN - a SVNKit java command-line client. The JSVN command-line client effectively functions like the Subversion Command-Line Client except that it works with the Java libraries in Fisheye/Crucible.

To run the SVNKit Java command-line client:

  • Linux/Unix:

    1. Navigate to the Fisheye/Crucible installation directory: <FishEye installation directory>/lib/svn

    2. Update the permissions on the JSVN script by running the following command: chmod 777 jsvn

    3. Run the jsvn script. ./jsvn --help can be used for a list of available commands.

  • Windows:

    1. Navigate to the Fisheye/Crucible installation directory: <FishEye installation directory>/lib/svn

    2. Run the jsvn.bat script.

Usage example (diff between revisions 2500 and 2501 for username USER and password PASS):

1 jsvn --no-auth-cache --username USER --password PASS diff -r 2500:2501 https://svn.repo.com/REP/@2501

For instructions on how to use the Subversion command-line client, please refer to the

Subversion Command Line Client 1.5

documentation.
