Reported by Tony Cooper, Nov 26, 2010

Steps to reproduce the problem:
-------------------------------

I mistakenly typed:
    mtn sync mtn:localhost?\*

when what I meant to type was:
    mtn sync mtn://localhost/?\*

The latter worked as excepted, the former gave:
$ mtn sync mtn:localhost?\*
mtn: connecting to mtn:localhost
mtn: fatal: error: netsync.cc:89: I(!host.empty())
mtn: this is almost certainly a bug in monotone.
mtn: please send this error message, the output of 'mtn version 
--full',
mtn: and a description of what you were doing to 
monotone-devel@nongnu.org.
mtn: wrote debugging log to 
/home/aecoope/code/monotone.ca/automate-stdio/MTN-0.99/_MTN/debug
mtn: if reporting a bug, please include this file

A more friendly `The specified URI is incorrectly formed' would be 
much better.

I have attached the debug file as well.
