Resolution: Unresolved
Currently it is possible to connect to a svn repository using the svn+ssh:// protocol.
We need doco for this.
+++++++++++++
You first need to confirm what type of authentication method (username/password or private key) is used by the "svn+ssh" server.
If it uses username and password then you set it up as normal.
If the SVN server uses private key as its authentication method and your Fisheye instance uses SVNKit to connect to SVN repository, you may want to follow through the following documentation in order to enable the svn+ssh to authenticate with private key:
Essentially, svnkit.ssh2.key properties is only needed when the ssh key is already uploaded to server for authentication (no username and password given).
In that case, you need to use the following system properties to let SVNKit know about your private key and passphrase:
svnkit.ssh2.key = /path/to/private/key/file svnkit.ssh2.username = userName svnkit.ssh2.passphrase = optionalPassphrase svnkit.ssh2.password = userpassword svnkit.ssh2.port = optionalPort
You can do that by setting FISHEYE_OPTS environment variable:
export FISHEYE_OPTS="-Dsvnkit.ssh2.key=/path/to/private/key/file -Dsvnkit.ssh2.username=userName -Dsvnkit.ssh2.passphrase=optionalPassphrase -Dsvnkit.ssh2.password=userpassword -Dsvnkit.ssh2.port=optionalPort"

Need to check with someone from development if this is all that is needed. I got the following info from past support cases

[FE-622] Need doco for how to connect to subversion repository using the svn+ssh protocol.
If the ssh key has been uploaded to the svn server, does that mean that the userpassword is optional? There is a KB article about this topic at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHKB/Cannot+Access+SVN+Repository+Over+SSH+Due+to+Error+-+svn+authentication+cancelled
