As a repo url, we're accepting
* raw windows paths (with both \ and /)
c:\cygwin repo
\\machine\share\cygwin repo
* proper file: urls
file:///c:/cygwin%20repo
file://machine/share/cygwin%20repo
Most non-standard urls accepted by the old code should work, too.
Paths longer than 260 characters are not supported anymore.
