For Subversion, particularly, it's not that inaccurate input will fail that's the problem, it's that the import will succeed expensively and/or somewhat uselessly, e.g. someone typing http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/ into the form. We might be able to steal some heuristics from bzr-svn for trying to figure out which directories in svn correspond to branches in the bzr sense; I'm not sure what it does for that these days.
