Allow (Process)

By default, FishEye will cache and index your whole repository, and present all of this information to users. You can control what parts of your repository FishEye will access, by setting the 'Allow (Process)' repository option.

Includes

The 'Includes' subsection defines what subtrees of your repository FishEye will index. FishEye defaults to including 'everything'. If you specify some 'include' directories, then FishEye will process only those directories (and all their subdirectories). For instance, you might want to do this to limit FishEye to the subset of active projects in your repository. Each include specifies the path to a subtree to be processed. Paths are expressed relative to the repository root configured in the repository configuration.
Examples:

• Including directories:

  {PROJECT1}
  

  The code above includes /PROJECT1 and all its children (sub-directories and their contents). You could specify /PROJECT1/ and /PROJECT2/ to include both of these directories in FishEye's indexing.
  
  

Excludes

The 'Excludes' subsection allows you to specifically exclude files and directories from those which have been included in indexing. FishEye will not process these files and directories. Each exclude is an Antglob Pattern. Examples:

• Excluding directories:

  {/PROJECT2/*\*}
  

  The code above or just /PROJECT2/ excludes /PROJECT2 and all its children (sub-directories and their contents).
  
  
• Excluding file types:

  {**/*.OBJ}
  

  The code above excludes any OBJ (object) files.

  Changes to Includes and Excludes do not take effect until the repository is restarted. If you do not re-index when changing the includes and excluded, files and directories which have been indexed prior to the update will remain visible in FishEye.

About Setting the Repository Root

When you are setting the Allow (Process), you should be aware that the options on this page only act on the parts of the repository that lie under the level of the repository root, which you configure as a directory location in your repository. In other words, FishEye can only access directories "lower" than the repository root. For example, consider a repository with the following structure:

/CORE/2007/LEGACY/
/CORE/2008/PROJECT1/
/CORE/2008/PROJECT2/

In this case, you could set the repository root (or 'Path') to be /CORE/2008/. In that situation, you would be able to include or exclude the /PROJECT1/ and /PROJECT2/ directories, but the /CORE/2007/LEGACY/ directory would not be available. To have FishEye index all of the directories in this repository, you would need to set the repository root path to be /CORE/. Then, you could use the includes and excludes to add and remove directories under /CORE/ from FishEye's scan. For more information, see the Subversion configuration page and read the 'Path' options.
