Before, when creating repository having file:///home/svn as Remote URI of repository for locally stored (but not ones, that are created by Phabricator) repositories was perfectly fine. Now I'm getting an error, when I either try to create new SVN repository with file:// protocol or try to edit existing repository:
I think there was none validation on this field in past. If that is the case, then please update existing validation rules to allow file:// protocol.
We removed this in June for security reasons. You can find some discussion in the June changelog:
https://secure.phabricator.com/w/changelog/2014_06_june/
We don't plan to restore it. It is unreasonably difficult/complex to make secure, and rarely used (by their nature, repositories are almost always network resources).
Luckily the existing repos, that are configured with file:// protocol are still working. I hope you won't be removing that.
But if repository is on same server, then it's less network traffic to scan it using file:// protocol then going back and forth over svn://localhost/ protocol.
