RE: Check out problem because of alleged problematic URL

I'm using "neon 0.28.3". According to the release history it doesn't seem to be particularly old.

Reading that snippet of code, I don't understand why the error would be triggered. It says it should only occur if the host, path or scheme are null. In the URL supplied by the user, it seems clear that the host is meant to be "ada-srp", the path is "/kr/svn/trunk/ kr_repos" and the scheme is "http:" so I don't see the problem.

What version of neon are you using, Benjamin?
