[PATCH][RFC] allow local file:// URLs for svnadmin

Hello,

would such kind of patch be acceptable or is this useless ?

I think there's nothing preventing svnadmin to accept local
file:// URLs as repository location parameter. So why not ?

The attached patch, is probably wrong (you tell me) as my
C is a bit rusty, but should show the intended change...

Comments, reviews, flames, etc... All gladly accepted.

If this is deemed useful, I'll especially would like directions
on how to improve the patch to make it suitable for a real
submission...
