Well, proposed possible syntax was:

1. <vcs>:<repository location>

   e.g.:

     svn:http://svn.example.com/project

   but

     host:path/to/repo

2. <vcs>::<repository location>

   e.g.

     svn::http://svn.example.com/project

3. <vcs>+<repository location>

   e.g.

     svn+http://svn.example.com/project

   but

     http+svn://svn.example.com/project
     svn+path/to/repo
