But.. it seemed to make sense at the time :)

Would you want a patch adding a error message if
    oldschema == newschema and oldhost == newhost ?

(although that doesn't get the other case of changing from one
repository to another on the same host -- which is non-trivial to
figure out from only parsing the URL)
