[issue728] hg doesn't like URLs of form file://localhost/...

[Jens Alfke]

New submission from Jens Alfke <jens at mooseyard.com>:

The "hg" command recognizes URLs beginning with "file:///", but not ones 
beginning with "file://localhost/", which should be considered equivalent. 
Instead, it returns a "repository not found" error.

Unfortunately the latter, unsupported syntax is the one that's generated by Mac 
OS X API calls like [NSURL fileURLWithPath:].
