Fisheye shows all SVN commit authors as "svn"

Jacob Weber March 18, 2025

I have an old Fisheye 4.8.6 server, and it's showing all recent SVN commit authors as "svn" instead of the actual author name, in cases where the author is something like "DOMAIN\username". This is generally what our authors look like — is that a problem for Fisheye?

The repos are svnsync-ed to the same server that Fisheye runs on, and accessed via file:// URLs. They do show the correct authors if I run "svn log" locally.

The strange thing is that this worked before, and I still see old commits with the "DOMAIN\username" style authors. But we migrated our SVN repository, and something must have changed.

Thanks.

Hi @Jacob Weber 

I assume this started happened after the migration of your SVN server?  If so, is svn recording the usernames correctly since the migration?

Hi Shawn. Yeah, it started after the migration, but it does seem that SVN is recording the correct usernames, judging from the "svn log" output on the target repository.

"svn" is the Linux user and group that owns the repository.
