This is caused by a problem with the Native Subversion Client.
Resolution
Fisheye's configuration need to be changed to use the bundled SVNKit instead of the Native Subversion Client. This can be done in two different ways:
Open
<FishEye Installation Directory>/config.xmland remove the following line:1<svn-config jar="\subversion\lib\svn-javahl.jar" jnilib="\subversion\lib\libsvnjavahl-1.dll"/>Login to Fisheye and go to:
Administration>Global Settings>Serverand leave theSubversion Clientconfiguration empty:
Restart Fisheye after saving all changes.
