Bug Description

First, the interface doesn't make sense. CVS doesn't use URLs, let alone the HTTP(S) ones requested by Launchpad.

Second -- and more importantly -- the interface doesn't work for actual CVS configurations. I'm trying to import a module from Drupal CVS, and even the suggested value of "cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib" for the "URL" field can't pass the validator.

Workaround: Create any silly branch on the project. Use the "import branch" tool directly to perform the real import. Delete the silly branch.

This error is caused by the overly strict validation done by URIField,
which is used for the Branch URL field.

As an aid to future travelers, the field in question is defined in lib/lp/registry/browser/productseries.py, line 838.
