No, Greg's right, this is bad.
"svn://" already means something in the Subversion universe. It will
be very confusing if KDE makes it mean something else. If KDE wants
to offer a feature that current SVN syntaxes can't support, then we
should solve the problem in a compatible way, not by overloading
existing meanings incompatibly.
It's really losing if Subversion resources use a different URI syntax
for each application that accesses them. The whole *point* of URI is
the "U", right? :-)
Neither the web page nor change give Mickael Marchand's email address;
do you know it?
