When adding or managing a Perforce repository, you can:

Perforce Repository Details

Name A name for this repository. The name may contain alphanumeric, underscore, '-' or '.' characters. Use 'perforce' if you can't think of a better name.
Description A short description of this repository.
Perforce Host The name of the server which provides the Perforce repository.
Port The port the server is listening on. This field is optional. FishEye will default to the standard Perforce port (1666) if you do not specify a value here.
Path The path within the Perforce depot that you wish to have FishEye index. You would normally put the depot path here, e.g. //depot/ but you may also use a more specific path to restrict FishEye to a subset of the depot.
Block Size Controls how many changelists FishEye will fetch from the depot in one batch. Larger values can reduce the time it takes for FishEye to scan your repository for changes, but use more memory. The default is 400.
Filelog limit FishEye uses the P4 filelog command to gather information about the files in changesets. The list of files generated can be very large. Setting a limit here will cause FishEye to batch up filelog operations into groups. This is useful with some versions of the Perforce client which may have trouble with large output. In general you should only set this field if you have a 2005 client or earlier. Lower values will degrade scanning performance.
P4 Operation Timeout Sets the timeout value that FishEye imposes on P4 operations. Operations which exceed this value are terminated. The default for most operations is 10 minutes.
Throttle connections-per-sec If set, this allows FishEye to throttle how many connections it makes per second to the Perforce server. The default is blank (do not throttle). You may enter fractional values such as 2.5.
Charset The character set used to interpret and display text files.
Unicode Server This field indicates whether the Perforce Server is running in internationalised mode.
Case Sensitive This field indicates whether the Perforce Server metadata is case sensitive. You should set this to false for servers running on Windows platforms.
Username/Password The credentials to use if your repository requires authentication.
Enable immediately Controls whether FishEye will immediately enable this repository, which starts the initial scan. If you wish to do some further configuration before the scan starts, then select 'No'. You can enable a repository later from the Repository List.
