I think it may be too strong a statement to say it is "fairly uncommon" to
use the "file" scheme. For instance, I use subversion on my workstation for
my own private repository. (There are all sorts of files one might want to
keep under revision control -- all sorts of "dotfiles" for configuration,
for instance.) The file:/// access seems ideally suited for this.
I agree that the most common use would be network access, however.
