The format is as follows:
scm:<provider>[:<provider specific connection string>]
The available providers and their particular connection strings are listed below.
The full connection string for CVS is as follows:
scm:cvs:<protocol>[:<host>]:<CVS root>:<CVS module>

scm:cvs:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/cvs/root:module scm:cvs:ext:username@cvs.apache.org:/cvs/root:module scm:cvs:local:/cvs/root:module
The full connection string for Subversion is as follows:
scm:svn:<url>
