Description

Currently when you add a Maven 2 project to Continuum, it complains if you don't have a scm connection url in the pom.

The scm elements are only really required for releasing, and not everyone uses the release feature of Maven/Continuum, so this should be optional.

We could...

• assume that the url you were given to fetch the pom from is also the scm url.
• default to Subversion, and make the prefix (scm:svn configurable
