Yes, an url must have this syntax that was supported until few days before your
patch (SCM-106).
I prefer too that scm url start with scm:, so we'll respect URI standard format.You can provide a
new patch for code and docs and i'll apply it.
Your previous patch wasn't in previoys release, so if you send a new patch, there won't be any
difference for users.

I've had some more time to think about this. We called it an SCM URL, so
that would mean that it is a URL of some sort. Having had a look at
RFC2396 [2] section 3 "URI Syntactic Components", the syntax for a URI is:
<scheme>:<scheme-specific-part>
URIs start with the scheme, which in our case is "scm", followed by a
colon. What comes after the scheme is up to the maintainer of the scheme
to decide upon.
So according to that we should not allow SCM URLs that start with "scm|"
because that would make it a non-URI.
We still need to define the scheme-specific-part, though.
