I replied to your post on the plugin home page before I realised you'd raised an improvement request:

The FishEye Recent Commits portlet should display all changesets under a particular branch, not just those containing issue or project keys in their comments.

If they're not showing it may be a result of an invalid configuration. Can you double-check that you've specified the correct FishEye branch and repository on the Edit Portlet screen?

If your config appears fine but it's still not showing recent commits, please raise a support request at http://support.atlassian.com under the FishEye project and we'll help you out.

I'm assuming you're talking about the FishEye Recent Commits portlet due to the message There were no changes on this branch in the last 10 days. This should have the functionality you're talking about..

cheers,
Tim

I've run the plugin with debug messages enabled, and the queries being sent to the EyeQL api contain a where clause that looks specifically for comments with <projectkey>[0..N]+ in them.

I am absolutely certain that the queries as designed are not doing what you described – they are definitely constraining the results to only revisions which reference the projectkey in the commit log.

If you need the specific queries I can get them for you also.

Cheers!
