I cannot reproduce your problem using your made-up URL. It seems likely
that the problem is triggered by something in your server's
configuration. For example, maybe your server is converting your URL
(without username) into a different URL that is somehow invalid.
The error means that, in some URL that was being accessed internally,
the scheme and/or host and/or path part was missing. The error message
could be improved by the following patch:

Are you able to re-build the Subversion client with the above patch and
try your real command again and see if the improved error message
reveals a clue?
