Enabling Smart Commits
Smart Commits allow repository committers to perform actions such as transitioning Jira Software issues or creating Crucible code reviews by embedding specific commands into their commit messages.

Because Git and Mercurial allow commits to be attributed to users other than those pushing changes to the repository, if your Fisheye instance has any DVCS repositories then Smart Commits will be disabled. This is a security measure to prevent privilege escalation. This only occurs when the feature is first initialized, and will not be disabled if new Git or Mercurial repositories are added afterwards.
Requirements
To get Smart Commits working, an admin on both Jira Software and Fisheye needs to do the following:
An application link must be configured between Fisheye/Crucible and Jira. See Linking to another application.
Smart Commits must be enabled, as described below.
If the Application Link is configured as OAuth
If the Application Link to Jira is configured to use OAuth, the commiting user must authenticate with Jira before any Smart Commit will work with Jira. You can authenticate as follows:

FAQ
Q. The Smart Commits administration page is reporting an error, saying "No plugins installed"
A. It is possible that the Smart Commit plugins are disabled in the Plugins section of your Fisheye instance. Go to System Settings > Plugins and open System Plugins. Please ensure that the Fisheye/Crucible Review Smart Commits Plugin and Fisheye/Crucible JIRA Smart Commits Hook Plugin are enabled (as well as all of their submodules). If you are unable to enable them, please view your Fisheye logs for clues and raise a support request at http://support.atlassian.com/ with your logs attached.
