Diagnosis
Environment
A Fisheye instance connected to a Bitbucket Server instance via an application link
The Bitbucket repository is added to Fisheye via the Bitbucket repositories tab at
Administration > Repository Settings > Repositories
Cause
On Windows, you need to have an OpenSSH binary accessible on your system path for Fisheye to clone repositories over SSH.
Solution
Resolution
The easiest way to achieve this is to select the "Use Git and optional Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt" option when installing Msysgit, as shown in this screenshot:
