I have a need to use the SCM api to manipulate a local svn copy, but the svn
provider can only work with remote copies.
e.g. "svn info ." to get the reposirory URL etc from what Subversion has and
not what you think it is.
If you pass in a file:// URL it treats this as a repository and not a local
copy - but if you don't use a url prefix and pass in just the path it fails to
parse the URL in SvnScmProviderRepository.parseURL().
The current workaround is to provide a custom SvnScmProviderRepository which
overrides getURL to return the path which shows that the info command and
others can work like this (however this obviously breaks anything that uses
local file based repositories!)
