Re: [Monotone-devel] [PATCH] fix use of hostname from parsed uri

In every other networkable SCM today, scm://server/name URIs can be used in
straightforward ways with a single server host to select entirely separate
databases (with distinct local auth controls) based what "name" the client
specified.

AIUI, the usher commands in the netsync protocol send the whole original
command line string (here "mtn://server/foobar") to the server, so usher
can use that however it likes to disambiguate what database to talk to.
The fix that allows "mtn://server" to work also allows "mtn://server/name"
so that the rest of the story can be done quite nicely just with more minor
hacking on usher.

The test is any push/pull/sync operation using "mtn://server" instead of
"server" (or "mtn://server:port/" instead of "server:port") as the ADDRESS
parameter.
