Step1: Setup Instructions for Repositories in SVN<\/h2>\n

Goto\u00a0Redmine > Administration > Settings > Repositories<\/strong>\u00a0and make sure the settings are as shown below:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fetch commits automatically<\/h3>\n

When you enable this option the applicatiojn automatically starts retrieving the revisions when the user tries to access the repository page<\/p>\n

Default value is: Yes<\/em><\/p>\n

You can disable this option and automate the call to Repository#fetch_changesets using cron to regularly retrieve the revisions for all of the repositories in the background.<\/p>\n

For Velocity: We have not disabled it and at the same time put up an automatic fetch whenever a new commit is made. To know how the same has bene done, please read further.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Example:<\/p>\n

ruby script\/runner “Repository.fetch_changesets” -e production<\/p>\n

For Redmine 2.x:<\/p>\n

ruby script\/rails runner “Repository.fetch_changesets” -e production<\/p>\n

For Redmine 3.x:<\/p>\n

bin\/rails runner “Repository.fetch_changesets” -e production<\/p>\n

You can setup the automatic call from post-commit (for SVN) and post-receive (for GIT) hook and make the changesets being fetched after each commit. Please note that running the above statement would fetch details for each reporsitory added in any project in Redmine so in case you have large number of such repositories added in the projects then it becomes a time consuming process. For me it was around 10 seconds for 1 repository. I have more than 100 repositoties for various projects so unnecessarily waiting for each fetch everytime a commit is made in any repo does not make sense<\/p>\n

You can fetch all the repositories via browser using the following URL:<\/p>\n

http : \/ \/<redmine url>\/sys\/fetch_changesets?key=<your service key><\/div>\n

To fetch only one repository via browser use the following URL: (Fetching only the repository for which the commit was made is far more efficient and less time consuming.<\/p>\n

Until you fetch the repository the Tasks in Redmine will not be closed.<\/div>\n

Project identifier can either be the number of the project, e.g.\u00a0id=1<\/code>\u00a0or the identifier name that you gave the project, e.g.,\u00a0id=mobileapp<\/code><\/p>\n

http : \/ \/<redmine url>\/sys\/fetch_changesets?key=<your service key>?id=<project identifier>&key=<your service key><\/div>\n

Enable WS for repository management<\/h3>\n

This option should be activated only if you installed the script for automatic SVN repository creation.\u00a0Default: No.\u00a0<\/em>But in order to autofetch each repository on commit, please enable this even if you do not want to create SVN repo automatically.<\/p>\n

Repository management WS API key<\/h3>\n

A secret key for repository management WS. This will be used in fetching each repository secretly.<\/p>\n

Maximum number of revisions displayed on file log<\/h3>\n

It provides a way to limit the amount of revisions which are retrieved from the SCM for a certain, browsed path.<\/p>\n

Referencing issues in commit messages<\/h3>\n

When fetched from the repositories, commit messages are scanned for referenced or fixed issue IDs.
\nThese options lets you define keywords that can be used in commit message to reference or fix issues automatically, and the status to apply to fixed issues.<\/p>\n

Default keywords are:<\/p>\n
