Description
Repository URL backends provide the URLs for various repository related links. For example, one could select a WebSVN URL backend, enter the WebSVN root, and get all the URLs for free without having to enter them manually. Various URL backends might also provide URLs that can't be created using the default URL backend's simple string replacement mechanism.
At least, that's the theory, because the default URL backend ('versioncontrol_default_urls') is currently hardcoded. We might want to make URL backends actually pluggable sometime, although it doesn't seem like a big priority right now.
#1
After analysing it and talking with @jpetso, we found that pluggable url backends do not have enough reasons to be.
So at oop branch the idea of url backends dissappear.
In the other side, the functionality mentioned here is a helper, and it can be done with form alter, so it would be handy to have at least one as a reference implementation.
