I'm dealiing with people who like Fisheye, which I've never

Has anyone used this?
It should work fine, we use jira-svn integration over svn+ssh, which I
mention because they both use svnkit so I can't see why there would be a
problem with fisheye.
We don't use that protocol with fisheye because it's slow as a very slow
thing as it is, so you really need to be using file:// protocol with it.
Fisheye really doesn't scale very well, but ymmv...
I've seen people run fisheye on svnsync'd copies of their repositories,
in order to push the load off the main server. I believe they were also
using the file:// protocol (on the copies).
That would probably make sense. Fisheye is going to extract every revision and
index it for full-text searching, etc., so it is going to do a lot of access and
be much less efficient than subversion itself. Run it on a machine with plenty
of RAM.
