Cause

Fisheye repository cache for repository "<Repo_Name>" has got corrupted/out of sync with the Git server.

Resolution

Shut down Fisheye and remove the contents of the <FISHEYE_INST>/var/cache/<Repo_Name> folder. Then restart the application with --debug command line option.

This will trigger a reindex on your "<Repo_Name>" repository from scratch, allow the initial index to complete to help rebuild the repository cache.
