I have tried and failed many times to get my projects set up on Jira. We have multiple clients with different source repos. None of them will ever exist on your servers, yet the "Source" tab always points at your subversion repo, and there is nowhere (that I can find) in your admin panel to set up a different subversion repo. I failed many times getting github to link up, but that finally worked while I was recording a video showing you it didn't work. Even then, the "Source" tab still opens an empty repo and I can't figure out how to get rid of that.
I think the docs should be clear. "We expect you to use our subversion repository". That seems to be how the software is set up. The docs and sales videos seem to imply that you can configure jira however you need, but unless I'm missing something (I assume I am, but I've looked quite a bit), you can't.
On the project page, there's a subversion section, and a way to select an "instance", but there's no way to set up a new instance, which would point at my server. Also, even if I select "none", the "Source" tab still points at your empty repo.
So:
1) How do I set up an external subversion repo?
2) How do I get the "Source" tab to point at either my github, or nothing? I find pointing at an empty repo on your server confusing for everybody involved.
I've made a video going through the steps I've taken, but it'll take a while to render, so I'll post this, then follow up with the video later.
PS, why do I need to log in to post a question? I came from your site logged in. Should be some kind of single sign-on setup.

Please, take this to heart at Atlassian HQ. Your promo material is very confusing about integration. Your users think you've integrated everything, but you kind of haven't. Your help docs and admin UI are not much help at all. That "Source" tab should say "FishEye" so its more clear. Also, I don't really want FishEye anyway. I do, however, want code review, but since other source control systems are plugins, I assume that won't work.
Now, how do I set up a different subversion server? That is still very confusing, and I assume not possible.

"FishEye and Crucible come as a bundle with integrated Subversion. The FishEye/Crucible bundle currently does not integrate with external repositories."
That's a huge let down. However, how do I point Jira at an outside repo? Just to see commits? I assume it should be "JIRA/FishEye/Crucible" in that list? Is there a way?
