This is correct. VS client accessed remotely just the URL, but the code
running on the server needs to know which database on the server it needs to
login into.
We could have accepted a local path to the VSS database, too, but for
increased security it was decided to reuse the network share of the VSS
database.
Team members working remotely don't need access to this network share, they
just need to know the share name.
