Every year or so Karl says this, and I object. :-) There is a far more
important for file:/// to exist.

Just as with CVS, an single user should be able to create a personal
repository and keep stuff under version control *without* having
permission to run a server process. For example, think of a college
student with no access to anything but her home directory on a
university unix machine. This use-case is more common than you think.
